When I was growing up (and we won’t go into when that was, exactly…!) these pendants were really common. The saying, “Je t’aime plus que hier, moins que demain” often came with a gem set plus and minus sign. I’ve also seen them breakable into two halves for lovers to share. If you haven’t seen these, it means “I love you more than yesterday, less than tomorrow”…

The sentiment is still sweet and here’s a simple way of expressing it. Jewelry by Veronique, by LA-based Veronique Vicari, offers this gold plated pendant and chain for USD $70.99. See it here; scroll down for “French Coin”. There’s nothing like a little retro romance to warm your January!
