Antique Carnelian Intaglio Fob 9 Carat Gold; Circa 1820

A darling Georgian intaglio fob pendant. This jewel is over 200 years old being created around 1800 and centred with a beautifully hand carved carnelian intaglio.

The fob is housed within a simple 9 carat gold mount, allowing the intricate carving of the stone to take centre stage. At its centre are the initials ER, accompanied by the Latin motto FIDE SED VIDE - traditionally translated as Trust, but look or Trust, but be careful.

There is something particularly appealing about this little fob: understated at first glance, but with a hidden message and a very personal initials waiting to be discovered. Over two centuries old, it is a tiny surviving fragment of someone’s story.
