This fob seal was originally created to hang from a gentleman's watch chain. It is made from 9k yellow gold, and set with a bloodstone seal. Bloodstone is the trade name for the mineral heliotrope, because its dark green colour is speckled with red specks.
Beneath the bloodstone panel lays a hidden compartment, which you can use to store a picture or small personal memento.
