Gold medallions have always been a symbol of achievement, strength, and recognition. For centuries, they've marked significant milestones, accomplishments, and the mastery of skills. Jennifer DeMoro, inspired by the merit badges of Girl Scouts or Brownies, wants us to put on a medal to celebrate our journeys with pride. Each piece was designed for us to express ourselves and honor our accomplishments.
This new collection of gold medallions spotlights this timeless concept, while resonating with us in a modern context. Let's take a peek into the heart of this collection and explore the inspiration behind each piece! We're sure you'll rediscover the meaning of symbolic jewelry.

The Medallions and Their Meanings
