A wonderful, early-Victorian wax seal fob, modeled in 15k rose gold, whose bezel-set, agate (carnelian) seal features an intaglio carved rebus. This rebus puzzles out to mean: I hope you are well! An anchor was the popular symbol for hope during the Victorian era, and the tree in this diagram is a Yew tree. The fob itself is classically formed, with a broad stirrup-shaped arch, a round finial bail, and fine, hand-engraved lines, both straight and pinwheeling.
