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 Its purpose is to decorate or add weight to the watch chain itself, making it easier for the watch to be withdrawn from a pocket. The fob would have been used to seal the wax of a letter or note.
A very unique fob from the Victorian (ca1880s) era! Crafted in 14k yellow gold, this fob resembles a small dome, and is decorated with a carved, ribbed design, and the top features a small flower motif. The base of the piece features a three-dimensional snake, whose body is curving around the fob, and seamlessly blends into the attached complementary bail. The base of the piece is represented by a rectangular agate stone, which displays a lovely milky white hue. The bezel-set agate features a carving, which seems to resemble a shield crest. A unique piece, this fob would make a lovely addition to any antique jewelry collection!
Measurements: The fob hangs 3/4" long (including the bail for hanging), and the base is 5/8" wide and tall.
Condition: The overall condition of the piece is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold setting. The agate stone is intact and secure, and the complementary bail is in working order.

Victorian 18k Banded Agate, Pearl + Enamel Mourning Locket
Located in Narberth, PA
This rare mourning locket from the Victorian (ca1875) era is quite a stunning piece! Crafted in vibrant 18k gold, the decorative locket serves as an incredible example of the mourning jewelry tradition. A delicate white pearl is pin-set in a gold 8-pointed star; a classic Victorian motif. The pearl and star rest in the center of a bezel-set piece of banded agate, surrounded by a gold twisted rope-like border around the bezel. The agate and pearl are encompassed by a broad gold boarder heavily adorned with black enamel. The enamel script reads "In memory of" on the four points of the cross. In between the points of the cross, gorgeously enameled flower-like shapes fill in the negative space. The outer edges of the locket also feature spoked gold-shot detail. The locket also boasts an over-sized bail that features the same floral enamel styling that can be seen throughout. The backside of this piece features a single large compartment with a removable glass face with gold frame that likely once held a photo or memento of the deceased. Engraved above the top of the compartment reads "George May, Died 6...
