Antique 9 carat rose gold medal. Shield design pink gold medallion engraved with the initials S I H. The three initials are entwined in the centre of a shield with a three leafed clover or shamrock on top. Clovers, either three or four leaved, are associated with good luck. A ribbon design across the top completes this pieces.

This medal would have likely originally been worn on a gentleman's or ladies watch as an ornament or fob. It's a wonderful and decorative adornment which modern women tend to wear on a chain. I've been lucky enough to find the initials of my friend's new baby and the monogram of a newly married couple before. Are you or yours an H I S...in any order?
