Early Victorian, Gold Filled & Amethyst Intaglio Fob

About the Item

This beautiful 19th Century fob features an oval amethyst intaglio seal with initials inscribed into it. The piece dates to circa 1840, is gold filled, and depicts a small hare or rabbit jumping across the top of the piece near the bale. The amethyst 'seal' features in period script the monogram of 'SAB' which has been beautifully rendered. In beautiful condition the piece would be a pleasant addition to a fob chain or would be equally as beautiful hung from a fine gold chain as we have depicted in our in-situ photograph. Nearing 200 years of age the piece is a stunning example of jewellery from the late Georgian/Early Victorian period. Measures - 2.7cm H x 1.8cm at widest Total weight of piece - 7.4 grams

  • Victorian Etruscan Revival Gold Fill Locket
    Located in Venice, CA
    This Victorian-era Etruscan Revival locket, circa 1870’s-1880’s, opens to reveal the daguerreotype of a young man. Across from it is a blank frame where an additional photo can still be added. The daguerreotype is hand-colored—the man has rosy cheeks and there is a slight blue tinge to the background. The front of the locket features ornate twisted-wire motifs and granulation, typical to the Etruscan Revival period, and there are seed pearls on the front emblem. The original bail can clip onto a larger chain, or a smaller chain can be slid through, so the locket can be styled in multiple ways. Etruscan Revival jewelry has a rich and interesting history. In the early 1800’s there was a large excavation of Etruscan tombs outside of Rome. Within these tombs were pieces of original Etruscan jewelry. The Etruscans were master artisans, they created breathtaking pieces of jewelry through their use of gold wirework and granulation, colored gemstones and glass. The news of the excavation of these tombs, and the treasures contained inside them, spread throughout Europe. Etruscan style jewelry...

  • 14K Rose Gold Silver and Amethyst Fob
    Located in Venice, CA
    This mixed-metal piece combines 14k rose gold and silver in the beautiful floral and foliate motif of an open work cone. A rose gold flower dangles in silhouette, surrounded by a frame of silver leaves. At the bottom is a deep purple amethyst, emerald cut and bezel set. When looked at head on, the structure of the cone can be seen through the amethyst, giving an infinity effect as the floral motif is reflected kaleidoscopically within the stone. The fob is circa the Arts and Crafts Movement of the early 1900’s. It is entirely handmade—each element hand sawn, assembled, and hand engraved. Because it is mixed-metal, it looks lovely on both gold and silver chains...
