Victorian 9ct Gold Swivel Seal with Bloodstone & Carnelian Base

268N
Written by Olly Gerrish

A decorative 9ct gold swivel seal that was made in Birmingham in 1898. It has a rope design from which is attached a swivel section that has an oval shaped bloodstone on one side and a carnelian on the other. Sometimes these stones have been engraved with a monogram or a crest. They would have been worn attached to an Albert chain which went across a man’s chest and had attachments to hold seals and a watch. Nowadays they can be worn as a small collection or on their own on a chain or a bracelet.
