This antique gold cased seal fob is simply charming!
Made from 9ct yellow gold cased metal, possibly a low grade silver and metal mix, early Victorian era, it has an elaborate design with an almost wrythen pattern base and scrolling arches.
The base is set with a crisp white Chalcedony, the matrix, carved with a small Scottish thistle and the words Dinna Forget, translating from Scottish dialect this means do not forget and this is thought of as a romantic sentiment, the poem Dinna Forget Me was a Scottish poem of love and the thistle has been the national emblem of Scotland for centuries.
This beautiful antique seal has a chunky gold plated jump ring attached so is ready to be hung from your favourite antique chain necklace or Albert chain.
Such a sweet little antique seal fob, so versatile and can be worn in many ways from an Albert chain fob to a pendant.
Marks and era:
Unmarked, 19th century, c1850s, Victorian era, tests as 9ct gold plated / cased, some areas testing as low grade silver below 800 so likely a metal mix
Condition:
Good used condition overall, signs of use and wear commensurate with age, light wear, some silver coloured metal showing on the corners and edges, the top loop of the seal has some wear and rubbing.
Approx measurements:
0.90" height / length
0.55" width at the base
