Georgian Antique Gold Citrine with Engraved Split Ring Fob Charm
About the Item
This Georgian Antique 9ct Gold Citrine Stone with Split Ring Fob Charm Pendant is a remarkable piece of jewelry from the Georgian era (circa 1714–1837). This pendant features a citrine stone, typically a warm golden-yellow hue, cut into a faceted shape that catches the light beautifully. The gold is ornately crafted, reflecting the era’s fondness for intricate and decorative metalwork. The piece is attached to a split ring, a type of openable ring commonly used for fob pendants, allowing it to be easily attached to a pocket watch chain or worn on a necklace.
Citrine was valued for its striking color and believed to bring prosperity and protection to the wearer. Its vibrant hue complemented the gold setting and was often chosen for fobs due to its beauty and symbolic significance.
During the Georgian period, fobs were essential accessories, primarily worn by men as attachments to their pocket watches. A fob would be suspended from a chain and tucked into a waistcoat pocket, both to prevent the watch from falling and to serve as a decorative element. Fobs were also frequently used as seals to stamp wax on letters or important documents, often engraved with personal initials, crests, or symbols. The stone at the base, like the citrine in this example, could be carved with intricate designs or left plain.
Fobs were not only practical but also significant status symbols. In an age when written communication was sealed with wax stamps, owning a fob with a unique stone or engraving was a way to personalize letters and documents. This served as a mark of social standing and individual identity. The split ring allowed for versatility, making it possible to switch the fob between different chains or accessories, showcasing the wearer’s wealth and style.
