The Arthus Bertrand Christ Roi medal in yellow gold

The Ange Gardien de Lay baptismal medal from the Maison Arthus Bertrand is a strong piece of jewellery, combining the elegance of 18k yellow gold with a sandblasted and matt or bright polished finish. On the obverse is a representation of Christ, surrounded by an inscription: "Christus regnat, Christus imperat, Christus vincit" meaning "Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands". On the reverse is the monogram of Christ, symbolising the beginning and the end. What makes this medal special? Its irregular, beaded edge, which makes it stand out from the traditional perfectly round models!
