Victorian love seal fob with sardonyx, circa 1900 – sold by karendeakinantiques.com

SOLD

Here’s a declaration of love in a small gold seal. The ladder to climb to the heart, the key to unlock the love within.

This was probably made at the beginning of the 20th century; I’ve had similar English hallmarked examples in the past.

The engraved round base is set with a sardonyx, as was common.

It’s small at just under one inch tall without the top ring – but that only adds to its appeal.
