Victorian Engraved Citrine Statement Fob Necklace

This compelling and considerably sized Victorian fob is fashioned with fluted and scroll designs, is finely hand engraved with leafy vines, and suspends from a shimmering 26-inch rope chain by way of a large engraved ring. Its underside is set with a pale lemony-colored citrine with a hint of sage green and is carved intaglio with a coat of arms depicting two ships and a creature that defies description (dog, lion, a mix of both?) chasing a deer. Beneath it all, a banner declares, "Non Sine Praeda," which means, "not without spoils." An intriguing set of images--and message-- that no doubt will spur lively conversation and perhaps a bit of research. Hand fabricated in 12K rosy-yellow gold.
