This exquisite Georgian intaglio seal fob once served such a purpose, pressing its carved carnelian face into soft wax, transforming correspondence into a statement of trust and heritage. The bright orange stone reveals a meticulously detailed crest: a shield bearing a stag’s head crowned with antlers and a pierced fish above, all surmounted by the Latin phrase "IN DEO CONFIDES"—"In God We Trust." It’s a piece steeped in history, whispered from an era of thoughtful craftsmanship.

Dating to about 1810 and made in England, this cased gold fob epitomizes Georgian elegance. The outer layer of rich gold encases the base metal beneath, a hallmark of the "cased" technique that offered durability and luxury. The top of the fob is adorned with deeply embossed swags and floral motifs, showcasing intricate details characteristic of the period. Measuring 19.4 mm high, with a carnelian face of 17.7 x 28.4 mm, this fob weighs 9.8 grams.

Perfect as a pendant or a collector’s treasure, this fob is a striking piece of history, offering both beauty and a tangible connection to the Georgian past. less
