About the Item
This antique heliotrope seal fob pendant is absolutely exquisite. An intricately crafted piece, originating from the Victorian era, showcasing the timeless elegance of that period.
One striking feature of this fob is the heliotrope seal - also known as bloodstone - a deep distinctive combination of green and red, reminiscent of the earth’s vitality and the life force within, makes it a truly fascinating and a cherished gemstone.
The smooth surface of its bottom has an engraving of a family crest, monogram, or some other meaningful insignia. This seal would have been used to authenticate documents or letters, making it both functional and fashionable in its time.
On top of this charming heliotrope seal stands a majestic 18k gold lion, its proud stance exuding strength and nobility. The lion's mane are meticulously detailed, its muscles subtly defined, and its expression regal yet fierce. The choice of 18k gold ensures a rich, warm hue that complements the deep green of the heliotrope and adds to the luxuriousness of the piece.
Overall, this antique heliotrope seal fob with its 18k gold lion and ruby eyes is not just a stunning accessory but also a tangible link to a bygone era of elegance and refinement. It's a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of its time, destined to be treasured for generations to come.
