A classic and elegant Victorian gold cased intaglio fob, timeless in both form and design.
The fob is set within a simple flowing mount, leading to a beautifully carved intaglio seal. The stone has a crisp fresh yellow hue. Glowing warmly and providing the perfect ground for the engraving.
Rendered in a classical style, the intaglio has been finely engraved with initials RD or RL cut in reverse as a traditional seal. The clarity of the carving and the brightness of the stone give the piece a refined and striking presence.
Fobs such as this were once worn on watch chains and used as personal seals, combining both function and identity in a single object. A charming and characterful Victorian piece.
