FAQs

A fob seal is a small decorative object, traditionally crafted from precious metal and fitted with an engraved gemstone or glass seal, designed to imprint a motif or coat of arms into hot sealing wax on private correspondence.

Fob seals were primarily constructed using gold, silver, pinchbeck, or gilt bronze mounts paired with carved hardstones such as chalcedony, carnelian, onyx, agate, or amethyst.

Authentic antique fob seals exhibit hand-engraved intaglios cut in reverse to leave a crisp raised impression in wax, appropriate historical metal patination, and hand-finished mount construction typical of Georgian or Victorian production.

Fob seals are frequently converted into wearable modern pendants on contemporary gold neck chains or layered alongside other antique charms on a charm bracelet.

Clean chalcedony fob seals gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a lightly dampened brush with warm water, avoiding harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or prolonged submersion in water.
