Perhaps the best known medals available at the Trophy & Medal Boutique as the leading Pretoria Medal Shop today are those awarded for outstanding performance in the sports, cultural and academic fields. Children from a young age get the chance to also being awarded for their hard work, dedication, and performance through unique pendants that will one day become family heirlooms.
Historical background
Pendants have always been seen as works of art even in the Greek and Roman times. The Roman pendants introduced realistic portraits of the sports or events for which the medals were awarded. Sculptors in the 19th century crafted elaborate pendants and thereby re-introduced the artistic element to medal-making.
Making of the pendants available from the top Pretoria Medal Shop
The medals can be formed through a wax, plaster or direct die cutting method. We provide custom die cast, sticker and standard pendants. Contact us today as the most preferred Pretoria Medal Shop for a quote and to order the works of art at affordable prices.

The Middle Ages were characterized by trophies awarded for sport achievements in the form of cups. The tradition is still kept today at the best place to buy Pretoria trophies and medals – the Trophy and Medal Boutique in Garsfontein. Horse racing, motor sports, golf, and team events over the years have become associated with the tradition of competing for the prestigious awards and as such even the events are named after specific cups. At our shop for Pretoria trophies and medals we also provide cups which are less expensive than arches, arm coats, and building.
The cups are now handed out more frequently, especially because most cups today are manufactured from a type of plastic rather than silver or gold although you can still find such cups which are just more expensive than their plastic counterparts. No longer limited to cups at this amazing shop for Pretoria trophies and medals, you also get figures such as cricket players or even objects such as hockey shoes. The awards are also not limited to plastic, silver, gold or wood, but can be made from glass or crystal as well. Browse through our range of trophies and contact us today to order custom made or standard awards for your company, organization or school events from the best Pretoria trophies and medal shop.
