Description

DATE: Georgian, c.1830

An extremely charming Georgian seal fob, set with a glass base and intaglio carved with "Telle Est La Vie" or "Such is Life" as we know it. Below, two little cherubs are seen balancing on a see-saw. This gorgeous depiction symbolizes life's ups and downs, and the balance between innocence and experience- Such is life! I love this seal and the message it holds, and its topped with a cute little rooster! Its modelled in pinchbeck throughout and features ornate floral engravings. With a rope-style jump ring, its perfect to add to your chain.
