The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Fob seals originated in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as functional items suspended from pocket watch chains. They were utilized to impress personalized crests, mottos, or monograms into warm sealing wax to secure private correspondence.

Fob seals were typically constructed from gold, pinchbeck, silver, or gilt metal. The base matrix frequently featured carved hardstones such as sardonyx, carnelian, agate, bloodstone, or chalcedony.

Authentic period fob seals feature hand-carved matrix details, period-correct metal joins, and signs of wear near the suspension loop. Gold pieces may carry historical hallmarks or test to specific historical carat purities.

An antique fob seal can be styled as a focal pendant on a modern gold chain or attached to a charm bracelet. Alternatively, decorative seals can be placed inside a glass cloche or displayed on a desk as a historical curio.

Clean the metal and hardstone gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid immersion in liquid, harsh chemicals, or ultrasonic cleaning devices, as these can loosen mounted stones or damage natural inclusions.
