"Let Us Follow the Light of Heaven"

This piece, a fantastic antique seal fob pendant set with a chalcedony base, intaglio carved with the words "'Lumen Coeleste Sequamur", which translates to "Let Us Follow the Light of Heaven"/ Let us follow the heavenly light". You could take this charming motto as a reminder that choosing truth, honestly and holiness, is always the right path to walk down, rather than the opposite of course. It's crafted in 15k yellow gold throughout with a highly ornate body, and it remains in lovely antique condition. It dates from the Georgian period, circa 1820, looks great worn on a chunky chain- although these pieces were originally worn on the end of a pocket watch chain.
