  • *Medallion As Shown*

    This selection will honor whichever medallion is shown in the original piece Kande designed, keeping it an un-customized piece.
  • Abeille

    The L’Abeille was established in 1857. The company was originally set up by farmers and vineyard agents in the region to offer hailstorm insurance. L’Abeille is located in Dijon – home and namesake of the famous French mustard.
  • Comite

    Features a classically dressed woman seated at her desk surrounded by books, rolls of fabric and a microscope. In the role of “expert” at France’s Ministry of Commerce, she performs legally binding valuations of items produced. Today, she’d be called a “valuation expert”. She was far-ahead of her time.
  • Drago

    Believed to have lived in fire and representing patience and justice, the salamander was often used in heraldry; a system of identification developed to help distinguish fully armored knights on the battle and tournament field.
  • Indochine

    A medal awarded to French soldiers who participated in the Indochina Campaign: the struggle against the Japanese occupiers of the Southeastern Asia peninsula during World War II. The crown on the medal indicates it is Royal in nature.
  • St. Christopher Modern

    This medallion was created for an automobile body and paint shop in Strasbourg. It features Saint Christopher, the patron saint of travel as he carries a small child across a river. Upon safely reaching the other side, the child revealed itself as God.

This necklace features 17″ of our edgy and bold Lourdes chain, our exclusive Austrian Crystal Brilliante bezel and Abeille medallion. Absolutely beautiful all by itself or layered with our other designs.

Jewelry care and warranty

French Kande is plated in sterling silver, gold and brass, all hand-finished by California artisans. Many feature color variations and blemishes that contribute to their one-of-a-kind aesthetic. Keep your Kande dry and free of oils and fragrances to maintain the finish's integrity. Should it patina over time, use a polishing cloth to revive its luster. Do not use cleaners or polishing compounds as it will remove the oxidation resulting in a brightened, shiny finish.
