This exquisite antique 9ct rose gold seal is a fine example of detailed craftsmanship of the Victorian era. The surface is adorned with intricate floral work, adding a delicate touch to its design.
At the top, a chased split ring allows for quick and secure fastening, making it a practical yet beautiful piece. The base of the seal features a stunning citrine stone, expertly carved with an intaglio crest of a greyhound resting upon a coat of arms. Below the crest, the Latin motto "SPES ASPERA LEVAT" translates to "Hope lightens difficulties" adding a layer of historical and symbolic significance.
This seal is a remarkable addition to any antique collection or a meaningful gift for someone who appreciates history and fine jewellery.
