Joan of Arc Signature Pendant – Historical “Jehanne” Signature
$79.00
This Joan of Arc signature pendant, handcrafted in sterling silver or 18K gold, is inspired by one of the rare surviving signatures attributed to Joan of Arc.
Simple and minimalist, the oval pendant reproduces the distinctive “Jehanne” signature found on a 15th-century letter associated with Joan of Arc.
Unlike traditional Joan of Arc jewelry depicting her in armor or using religious and heraldic symbols, this pendant draws inspiration from something far more personal: her handwritten name.
The Historical “Jehanne” Signature
The design of this pendant is directly inspired by the “Jehanne” signature appearing on a letter addressed by Joan of Arc to the people of Reims on March 16, 1430, written at Sully-sur-Loire only a few weeks before her capture.
The body of the letter was written by a scribe, while the signature “Jehanne” appears in a different hand and is traditionally attributed to Joan herself.
This surviving Joan of Arc signature provided the starting point for our pendant.
To transform the historical handwriting into jewelry, we preserved its most recognizable features, including the large initial “J” and the distinctive flow of the remaining letters, while slightly adapting the proportions to the oval shape of the pendant.
The engraving is therefore not intended as an exact facsimile. It is a jewelry interpretation directly inspired by Joan of Arc's historical signature, designed to preserve the character of the original handwriting while creating a balanced piece that can be worn every day.
A Deliberately Minimalist Joan of Arc Pendant
We deliberately chose not to surround the signature with a portrait, fleur-de-lis, cross or other symbol.
The entire design centers on a single element: “Jehanne”, engraved into the polished metal.
This simplicity is what makes the pendant distinctive. Rather than depicting a later artistic interpretation of Joan of Arc, it evokes a personal handwritten trace that has survived for nearly six centuries.
On the sterling silver version, the recessed engraving can be darkened to create contrast and emphasize the characteristic lines of the signature.

Who Is This Joan of Arc Signature Pendant For?
This pendant is designed for those drawn to Joan of Arc, French history and the values of courage, determination and faithfulness to one's convictions that her story has come to represent.
More understated than a traditional religious medal or a portrait of Joan of Arc, it offers a more personal way to wear a symbol connected to her history.
To most people, it appears simply as the handwritten name “Jehanne.” Its deeper meaning reveals itself through the story behind the signature.
That connection to a rare personal trace associated with Joan of Arc gives this piece its distinctive character: a minimalist historical pendant inspired not by a later image of Joan, but by her name as it appears in a surviving 15th-century document.
