can anyone give me a translation on the bottom of a seal,

using a limited knowledge ive worked out the characters are:

智愛兒得 ??

wisdom, knowledge, intelligence

love, be fond of, like

son, child, oneself; final part

obtain, get, gain, acquire.

what do they mean as a whole?

thanks very much for your help

I don't think it is supposed to have any meaning as a whole besides what each character means individually. Think of seeing an engraving on a ring or something that says in English "peace wealth happiness". It has no other meaning as a whole

I'm no expert on this, but the characters chosen seem a bit weird. I don't recall ever having seen 兒 or 得 used as good-luck characters. Anyone else?

it looks like a 长命锁. maybe it means my son 智(maybe the son's name) possesses this metal(长命锁).
