A very collectable seal/fob, originally would have hung on the end of a gentleman's watch chain, now highly collectable in their own right.
English, circa 1850.
This example standing 23mm high is set with a reverse-engraved citrine which is engraved in Latin - `Refulgent in Tenebris`, which translates `they shine in the dark`.
A little bit of `nibbling` to the citrine, but still perfectly readable,
Weight 7.8g
Unmarked, tests 15ct (Gold standard from the period)
