This captivating Georgian wax seal intaglio has been thoughtfully repurposed into an exquisite pendant, preserving its original charm and historical significance. The black stone, likely onyx, is hand-carved with a unique and symbolic design - Cupid rowing Father Time in a small boat beneath the words "LOVE PASSES TIME AWAY." This sentiment reflects the romantic notion that love eases the passage of time, a popular theme in the Georgian era.
This remarkable intaglio is set in an 18-carat yellow gold frame designed to reflect the craftsmanship of the original seal. The setting boasts beautiful repoussé detailing, with delicate leaf designs forming the claws and continuing across the back, creating an ornate and sophisticated look. The pendant also features a substantial bail, allowing it to be easily attached to chains, clasps, and charm holders, offering endless styling possibilities. Hallmarked by the prestigious London Assay Office in the Diamond District, this piece carries full traditional UK hallmarks.
A perfect standalone piece or layered with other treasures, this pendant carries timeless symbolism and adds a touch of history to your collection.
