As the Paris Olympics approaches, athletes are gearing up to compete for the esteemed Olympic medals.
This year's medals are designed by LVMH jeweller Chaumet, featuring a distinctive look inspired by the Eiffel Tower.
The round medals include a hexagonal metal piece inspired by the Eiffel Tower, made from materials sourced during its renovation.
Olympic gold medals have just six grams of gold, primarily consisting of silver with a thin gold plating.
Unlike gold medals, silver and bronze medals are crafted from solid metals, making their production more cost-effective.
The Paris Olympic medals measure 85mm in diameter and 9.2mm thick, weighing 529 grams for gold, 525 grams for silver, and 455 grams for bronze.
