Seal Fob Pendant – Oval

The seal fob brings the function of a signet ring to the pendant. Commonly worn by men from the late 17th to early 19th centuries, seal fobs would be hung from a pocket watch chain either individually or in clusters. They could be purely decorative or both decorative and functional.

The SFP-O is a modern interpretation of this historic form of adornment. The clean lines and minimal form of this pendant make it a truly unisex piece. The weighty sterling silver is set with a creamy piece of mammoth ivory which can be custom engraved.

This smooth white material comes from the long extinct wooly mammoth, the last of which returned to the earth around 10,000 years ago. An ancient material, it can be inscribed and carved like gemstones and is used for scrimshaw, sculpture and jewelry. We favor mammoth ivory for its minimal, quiet character and the contrast it presents when placed next to metals and woods.
