Victorian Mixed Metals and Agate Floral Motif Spinner Fob Pendant
About the Item
A fob is an adornment or a seal that hangs from the ribbon or chain of a pocket watch. Its purpose is to decorate or add weight to the watch chain itself, making it easier for the watch to be withdrawn from a pocket. A spinner or swivel fob has two or more sides, which can be turned or swiveled within a moveable bracket. This allows the wearer a choice as to which side is displayed prominently!
A stunning spinner fob from the Victorian (ca1880) era! Made of 14kt yellow gold, this unusual piece is double-sided with a smooth chalcedony plaque on one side, and a glass-covered mixed metals design on the other. The chalcedony, which is smoothly polished and rectangular in shape, has a lovely, translucent ivory color. The glass-covered design on the reverse side is truly exceptional! It features a gorgeous floral motif comprised of mixed metals in soft hues that include pale green, lavender, light pink, and yellow gold. The flowers and leaves are slightly raised above their yellow gold background, giving depth to the 3-dimensional design. Both sides of the fob are set in a decorative yellow gold base, which spins freely and easily if desired. Bordering each side is a "step-up style" mounting, with a beautifully engraved floral design on the outermost border. The top of the fob features large open bail, perfect for pairing with a complimentary chain. It's an incredibly beautiful spinner fob that looks fabulous when worn, and would make a very special addition to any collection!
When laying flat, the fob (including the gold frame) measures approximately 1 3/4" tall, approximately 1 1/4" wide, and has a depth of 3/8" at its thickest point.

A fob is an adornment or a seal that hangs from the ribbon or chain of a pocket watch. Its purpose is to decorate or add weight to the watch chain itself making it easier for the watch to be withdrawn from a pocket. The base of the fob would often have been used to seal the wax of a letter or note. The opposite of a cameo, an intaglio is created by carving below the surface to produce and image in relief with the purpose of pressing into sealing wax, often used in signet rings.
