The face features two heraldic motifs, accompanied by the Latin motto ‘FUIMUS’. This motto was traditionally associated with Clan Bruce and translated as ‘We have been’ or, more evocatively, ‘We were once kings.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe motto carries a wonderful sense of history, reflecting the ancient power and royal associations of the Bruce family. It is particularly evocative when paired with the heraldic imagery, giving this small pendant an almost miniature heraldic tablet quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether created for someone connected directly to the Bruce family, as a piece celebrating an ancestral association, or simply as an object inspired by the famous Scottish lineage, it is a fascinating little survival from the Georgian\/Regency period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eERA: \u003c\/strong\u003eGeorgian \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHALLMARKS\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unhallmarked of 9 carat in differing hues \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.9 grams approximately. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTAGLIO:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 x 12mm approximately \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is in lovely antique condition with a fine overall patina to the gold.
