This heavy and substantial antique gold seal fob is a real versatile beauty.
Made from 9ct yellow gold, Victorian era, it has an elaborate scrolling detailing around the top and a chunky beaded rim.
The base is set with a lush rich Carnelian matrix, carved to depict an image of Hermes, Messenger of the gods, a befitting choice for a seal, perhaps with a hidden meaning as Hermes was also known as fast, sharp and a trickster.
