A popular inscription in antique and vintage French jewelry is "Que' hier, que demain." which translates to "More than yesterday, less than tomorrow." Originating from an 1889 French poem by Rosemonde Gerard for her husband, the full line as translated is: "For, you see, each day I love you more, today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow." These pieces are wonderful gifts for sweethearts, partners and spouses.
This darling French charm can also be worn as a pendant. Depicting a woven basket with a love note tucked inside, it bears the famous romantic line. Embellished with rubies, it's the perfect little sentimental trinket for your soulmate!
