19TH CENTURY FOB ‘HE WHO NEGLECTS ME LOSES ME’

This is a wonderful, early 19th century fob crafted in 12 carat gold.

Circa 1820/30; The fob contains an oval transparent quartz stone, with a finely carved intaglio of a bird flying free from a cage.

The words around the edge of the seal read:

‘Qui me neglige me perd’ which translates as;

‘He who neglects me loses me’

Such a cool sentiment that we should adhere to in many walks of life!

The elegant 12ct gold frame is reeded and has a ball finial at the top, and, where each arm reaches the base.

The fob is the perfect size to hang from a simple chain.
