EXCELLENT: This Georgian 12ct Gold Chalcedony armorial crest fob is in spectacular condition for its age. The trumpet of the Fob has lasted very well indeed, with the 12ct Gold mellowing to accrue a soft blush tinge with age. The White Chalcedony intaglio is nice and crisp, with the inscription and armorial shield clear for all to see. You can enjoy wearing this fob as a pendant or using for its original purpose as a wax seal!
