Fob seals were historically suspended from pocket watch chains and utilised to stamp hot wax for authenticating and closing confidential letters and documents.

They are typically constructed from precious metals such as 9ct or 15ct gold, sterling silver, or rolled gold, frequently inset with carved hardstones like carnelian, bloodstone, or chalcedony.

Authenticity is determined by examining metal hallmarks, the precision of hand-engraving on the matrix, and traditional construction methods appropriate to the nineteenth century.

These pieces can be worn as a pendant on a modern chain or displayed in a small glass dome or trinket tray as part of a curated tabletop vignette.

Maintenance involves gentle cleaning with a soft microfibre cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh chemical dips that may damage softer inset stones.
