Antique bloodstone seal pendant with ornate “EL” intaglio ✧ early Victorian silver in the Georgian taste ✧ beautifully hand-crafted charm ✧ a rare surviving personal seal with enduring charm
With her refined proportions and fine construction, this elegant silver seal pendant has all the charm of the Georgian era and was likely made with a lady in mind. Lightweight and beautifully hand-crafted, she features a graceful scrolled handle, looped into an eternity-style knot that adds a subtle symbolic touch.
The oval base is set with a polished bloodstone intaglio, engraved with the original owner’s monogram “EL” in an ornate, flowing script, finished with distinctive thorn-like flourishes that give the piece a wonderfully characterful presence.
We have added a vintage sterling silver fine cable chain for immediate wear. Simple and unfussy, this delightful antique seal pendant carries an effortless, timeworn elegance.
