This 9 ct fob bears a carnelian stone carved with the motto of the Lockhart Family, a prominent clan in the Scottish lowlands, whose history dates to the Middle Ages. And if you're with me for a than tangent, and willing to speed through several hundred years of history, a branch of the Lockhart clan eventually decamped to Texas in the 19th century. Today, Lockhart Texas is famous as the epicentre of Texas' barbecue belt. Anyhow, back to the seal!

The motto, Sine Lane Fides, translates to 'Loyal without fault.' Surely a motto to which we should all aspire.

Size: 23mm high

Material: Laser tested 9ct, carnelian
