Victorian 'Hopkins' Intaglio Fob in 18 Carat Gold; Circa 1890

This is an enchanting fob that would make an amazing pendant or necklace.  A wonderful personalised treasure. Created from 18 carat gold its a higher quality piece, tactile on the hand. 

A practical item, it has been created in the most darling form, meant to be worn and seen rather than hidden away. It would have been worn on a chain, most likely a pocket watch chain. They‘re now sort after as pendants and necklaces. 

One side of the fob has been expertly carved with the motto and family crest of the Hopkins family into Carnelian. The motto reads 'Suavitate Aut Vi' which translates from the Latin into "Either by gentleness or by force". The reverse is a bloodstone carved with the initials 'MCH' 

The fob and swivel has been set with hallmarked 18 carat gold giving it a really buttery warm glow. We have added a small 9 carat gold loop to make it more wearable as a pendant.
