- Victorian 15kt. gold seal fob with carnelian intaglio and family mottoLocated in Braintree, GBThis antique 19th-century seal fob/pendant, crafted from 15kt. yellow gold features a Carnelian intaglio depicting what is possibly the crest of the Carmichael family or clan, along with the French phrase 'Toujours Prest,' which translates to 'Always Ready' in English.
