Antique 15k Carnelian Fob Seal Flip Lion
$ 790.00
Funny story; I started buying these wonderful carved intaglio seals years and years ago. Not because I had a demand for them, not because I felt like I ‘needed’ to, but merely because I like them. No, actually, I kind of love them. Here's why; I always have that strong wish that my jewels could speak, and so I find myself strongly drawn to the ones that tell at least a bit of a tale, the ones that are hallmarked with where and when they were made or inscribed with a name or a date or a wish. Intaglios, tiny carvings with such exquisite details, they speak to me in this same way, they say something about themselves. They bear a message or maybe someones family crest, their motto, their initials even. You can imagine them, all those years and years ago. dropping wax on a secret message, pressing their seal into it to insure it arrived without being read. Brilliant, really.
I am always asked for smaller seals or fobs that can be added to a bracelet. Here is such a little beauty, it’s not too small, it’s just perfect. Hand crafted in 15 karat yellow gold, it’s set with a spinner of smooth rusty orange carnelian which has been beautifully carved on both sides; one side bears the likeness of a Lion in profile and the other the initials ‘JA’ (I think, it might be JK?). The beveled slice of translucent stone is wonderfully set into a pinched frame and spins freely but not loosely. I think this one is quite early and probably Georgian, circa 1750 or so, I would guess, and was made in England. It measures 27.5 mm across, 19 mm top to bottom and is 3 mm thick, it weighs 2.3 grams. It is unmarked but has been carefully acid tested to verify the metal content.
Turns out I’m not the only who loves these little carved treasures, I sell them as fast as I buy them, but I don’t mind, it just means I get to go on the hunt for more! To me, they walk that perfect line between art and history and adornment.

Antique Dutch Silver Fob Seal Crest Pendant, c. 1910
$ 450.00
There must be a man in Europe who writes letters with a feather quill, who scribbles his words in loopy cursive letters, who when he pauses, places his finger to his chin to ponder. His spectacles are round and silver and magnify his blue eyes beneath the lenses. His hair is dark brown, like baking chocolate, and there are strands of gray on the edges of his face. He carefully places his parchment inside a corresponding envelope and when he closes it, he closes it with this seal and some crimson wax.
This Dutch oval seal was handcrafted in silver around 1910. It features a crest and shield of a sea fish wearing a regal five point crown. This stately piece has been hallmarked with a cursive ‘I’, which is the Dutch mark for minimum silver fineness of 250. The maker’s mark looks to read, ‘FE’ in the diamond cartouche. This charming seal weighs 12.5 grams and measures 32 x 22 mm.
Imagine clandestine meetings and secrets in letters all tied together with a seal. It could be this seal that helps guard your words and correspondents. It would also make a fantastic bauble on a silver chain or watch chain!

Antique Georgian Armorial Seal, Carnelian and 18k Gold c. 1820
$ 1,250.00
Since before the Bronze age people have been using seals to make an impression (usually in wax, on paper or in clay). This Georgian seal certainly makes an impression of it's own.
The hand carved rich burnt orange colored Carnelian is carved with a Heraldic coat of arms showcasing a field of crows under a crow on a stump.

The seal measures 1 1/8 inches across and 1 1/4 inches high. It is in wonderful condition, especially considering that it was made in the Georgian era, sometime around 1820. It weighs 14.2 grams.

$ 1,480.00
Okay, so I have to admit that I only just now realized that this fob is really quite gruesome! I was looking at it closely and trying to discover some tidbit of information about the heraldry of its carving and I realized that the sword was quite bumpy. Hmm… ‘a bumpy sword, that’s odd’, I thought and so I got out my good jewelers loupe and turned on the brightest light in the room and took a look. Oh my, those bumps are heads! I never did discover it’s meaning (if you know it, won’t you tell me?), but I admit to loving it just a little bit more for it’s outright message! Off with their heads! Yikes!
