Description:
A historical 15ct Gold Carnelian intaglio fob pendant ready to be worn and enjoyed in the 21st century. This piece features a 15ct Gold pillar and a breathtaking marmalade-hued Carnelian stone, engraved with the Scotch-Irish Carr family crest!
The Carr family coat of arms consists of a shield and four estoiles, and their motto was 'Fida Clavo' which means 'sure and nail'. We love the thought of this piece being used by one of the members of the family to seal envelopes or being worn next to a fine Gold Albert chain!
This piece is highly collectible and we are delighted to be able to offer you such a unique piece of history. Wear it with a Gold chain or create your own impressive split ring combination!

EXCELLENT. This antique 15ct Gold Carnelian intaglio fob pendant is just delightful. The Carnelian is secure and has a lovely clear crest and motto. The Gold is lovely and bright and doesn't have any sign of wear, it's a lovely piece. There is a protective layer within the hoop you'd use to thread this through a chain, but this serves to give strength!
