FAQs

Clean gently using warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips, and store individually to prevent scratching the softer gemstone matrix.

These items can be worn as a pendant on a contemporary chain, displayed in a small glass cloche on a desk, or integrated into a curated curio cabinet collection.

Authenticity is assessed through hallmarks or purity marks, the quality of hand-engraving on the metal mount and stone matrix, and natural wear patterns consistent with age.

Traditional pieces were cast or hand-chased in gold, silver, or gilt brass, featuring an engraved hardstone base such as citrine, carnelian, or bloodstone that served as the stamp matrix.

Fob seals were widely used from the 18th to the late 19th centuries to apply a personal crest or initials to hot sealing wax on correspondence and documents, typically suspended from a pocket watch chain.
