1880s Victorian Bloodstone 14k Yellow Gold Fob

About the Item

1880s Victorian Bloodstone and 14k yellow gold fob. The 1880s Victorian bloodstone and 14K yellow gold fob represents a significant intersection of artistry, functionality, and the cultural values of its time. This era was characterized by a fascination with ornate design and intricate craftsmanship, which the Victorian jewelry aesthetic epitomizes. Bloodstone, known for its deep green hue speckled with red spots, is often associated with healing properties and was believed to promote courage and vitality. The choice of this gemstone in combination with 14K yellow gold not only exemplifies the material wealth of the period but also reflects the prevailing tastes that favored natural motifs and rich colors in jewelry design. Also this is a large and hefty fob. Fobs during this period served both practical purposes as chains for pocket watches and as decorative accessories that conveyed social status. The use of gold in these fobs indicates affluence while the bloodstone serves as an emblematic representation of personal virtue. Collectors and enthusiasts often seek out these fobs not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for their historical significance, as they offer a tangible connection to the social and cultural narratives of the Victorian era.
