Presented here is a Gold Rolled Medal of French Origin, Round, of St Rita sold with its hand made chain, in Vermeil ( Gold plated Sterling Silver).
It has an ORIA Hallmark. Oria was founded in 1897, a company well known for their heavily gold foiled and rolled jewelry. They used brass jewelry and they applied a heavy 14 or 18 carat gold foil over it. They also made lots of art nouveau-style jewelry. Oria jewelry is reputed to withstand long-term wear and be easily mistaken for real gold.
The medal dates from the early 1900's, mainly based on its Art Nouveau Style. It is in excellent condition for its age and the fantastic Gold foiling made by ORIA is still superb after more than a century.
It has a great design with a lot of fine metal work and is an extremely pleasant and attractive pendant. It is quite rare to find St Rita medals of this type and quality.
