Certified authentic medals and crosses

Whether it's a love, birth or religious medal, the medal, like the cross, is an eminently symbolic and sentimental piece of jewelry, sometimes regarded as a protective amulet. With guaranteed, authenticated and certified 18-carat gold second-hand jewelry, Gemme Jewellers offers you the opportunity to find a high-quality 18-carat gold medal at a price up to 60% lower than new. All in excellent condition, our medals and crosses can be worn as pendants on a necklace or bracelet.

Our second-hand gold pendants also include crosses of different sizes, styles, periods and prices, from the most discreet cross in white gold and platinum to the most sophisticated jewel set with diamonds, garnets or sapphires.



What types of pendants can I find second-hand?

You can find a wide variety of pendants second-hand: medallions, crosses, cameos, pendants set with precious stones or diamonds, as well as creations from leading jewelry houses. This allows you to acquire a unique and original piece at a price that is often more affordable than new items.

What is the average price of a second-hand 18-carat gold pendant?

At Gemme, the average price of an 18-carat gold pendant is around €1,000. Our most understated designs start at €300, while exceptional pieces, set with diamonds or designer pieces, can exceed €3,000. Each pendant is selected to offer the best combination of quality, authenticity and price.

What type of chain should I choose to wear with a pendant?

It is advisable to choose a strong chain that is suitable for the weight of the pendant, such as a cable chain, Venetian chain or curb chain. The chain must be strong enough to ensure the safety of the pendant or medallion.

What is the ideal chain length for a pendant?

The length depends on your body type and the desired style: 40–45 cm for a pendant worn close to the neck, 50–60 cm for a longer look. An adjustable chain is ideal for varying the position depending on your outfit. The key is to ensure that the pendant is shown off to its best advantage without hindering your movements.

How should I care for and clean an antique pendant or one set with stones?

Regular cleaning with a soft cloth will help preserve the shine of the gold and stones. For precious stones, it is best to use warm soapy water and avoid abrasive products. A jeweller can also provide professional maintenance for antique or delicate pieces.
