Georgian Gold Cased Seal with Carnelian Intaglio of Two Dove Birds and Love feed-gender-unisex The shoulders are exquisitely engraved

The shoulders are exquisitely engraved

they used two colours of gold to decorate (usually used on silver not gold)

and it does look very much like it is set with actual diamonds

and grace- playing on the concept of the Three Graces from mythology

4 carats of diamonds set in both the cluster setting and on a knife edge setting to link it to its chain

Georgian Gold Cased Seal with Carnelian Intaglio of Two Dove Birds and Love feed-gender-unisex The shoulders are exquisitely engravedA wonderful late Georgian seal, circa 1820s with its original split ring. Both the split ring and the seal have a lovely decorated repousse work. On its Carnelian base are two doves facing each other and the word LOVE above. Doves mate for life and are considered a symbol of lasting love and devotion. This romantic piece is believed to have been used as a betrothal for marriage.
