Gold “Lucky Angel” Jewelry
Legendary good luck charms
The perfect gift for any occasion!
Of all the classic European gold coins we handle, the French 20 franc Lucky Angels are our favorite. Slightly smaller than a U.S. quarter, Angels feature a lovely design and a fascinating history as good luck charms.
We select only the finest Brilliant Uncirculated coins for unsurpassed eye-appeal. Set in our exquisite 14-karat gold bezels (rope-style or plain) and combined with an existing gold chain, these beautiful old coins make exceptionally fine and immensely popular gold necklaces.
Historic design
The magnificent “Guardian Angel” design on the obverse was originally created during the French Revolution by Augustine Dupré. In 1871 this beautiful design was resurrected by the Third Republic for the French gold 20 franc coin.
The legend of the Lucky Angel
These gold Angels have always been regarded as lucky charms. Their legend began in the mid-1790s when Dupré claimed he was saved from the guillotine by one of the original Angel coins in his pocket. Pilots in World War I always carried a gold Lucky Angel coin in their kit for protection, and ship captains seldom went to sea without one in their vest pocket.
Finest 14-karat gold bezels
We hand-mount all coins in elegant 14-karat gold screw-type bezels, either plain or rope-style, your choice. These are the highest quality gold bezels on the market and compliment our coins perfectly.
Wish the angel in your life good luck and safe travels all year round with the cherished gift of an authetic Lucky Angel gold coin, set in an exquisite 14-karat gold bezel.
