Paris 2024 Olympic Medals

Each one of the Olympic and Paralympic medals will be set with a piece of original iron from the Eiffel Tower, forging a connection between the Games and the monument that symbolizes France and Paris. This innovative idea was born from the collaboration between the Paris 2024 Athletes' Commission and the renowned LVMH jeweler Chaumet, resulting in a medal that is both a work of art and a piece of history.
The design of the medals draws inspiration from three key elements: the hexagon, radiance, and gemsetting. The hexagon, the geometrical shape of France, is formed by the original Eiffel Tower iron, stripped of its paint and returned to its original color. This symbol represents the entire nation's commitment to delivering an unforgettable Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Radiating from the central hexagon are fine, embossed lines that bring relief and sparkle to the medal, embodying the radiance of France on the global stage and the shining performances of the athletes. The gem-setting technique, inspired by the "Clous de Paris" hobnail shape the and the Eiffel Tower rivets, secures the iron hexagon to the medal, adding depth and dimension to the design.
In a testament to the unity of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, both medals share the same design on one side, featuring the Eiffel Tower iron. The ribbons, too, are adorned with the Eiffel Tower lattice work, with the Olympic ribbons in dark blue and the Paralympic ribbons in a deep red, inspired by the first two coats of paint used on the Eiffel Tower.
The reverse side of the Olympic medal tells the story of the rebirth of the Games in Greece, with the goddess of victory Athena Nike emerging from the Panathenaic Stadium, joined by the Acropolis of Athens and, for the first time, the Eiffel Tower. The Paralympic medals feature a graphic representation of the Eiffel Tower from an upward perspective, surrounded by the words "Paris" and "2024" in universal Braille, symbolizing accessibility and honoring its French inventor, Louis Braille.
