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 Its purpose is to decorate or add weight to the watch chain itself, making it easier for the watch to be withdrawn from a pocket.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 wonderful bloodstone fob from the Victorian (ca1880s) era! This beautiful piece is crafted in 18k yellow gold, and is pyramid-shaped. The entire surface of the fob is decorated with three-dimensional motifs, which include delicate flowers and scrolling designs. The base of the fob features a square-shaped bloodstone, which displays a deep green hue with red marbling. The bloodstone is held within a bezel setting, and the base of the fob also features intricate etchings. The top of the fob features an attached bail, which is decorated with a ribbed design. A substantial and unique piece, this fob would make a wonderful addition to any Victorian-era jewelry collection! Measurements: The fob stands about 1 3/8" tall, including the handle and ring. The base of the fob measures 7/8" long and just over 3/4" wide. Condition: The overall condition of the fob is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold setting. The bloodstone and three-dimensional details are all intact. The complementary bail is secure and in working order.

Victorian Inlaid Gold Quartz Locket Pendant
Located in Narberth, PA
Gold-in-quartz was formed while the earth was still in its molten state. During the cooling and solidification process, veins of gold became trapped with the crystals of quartz in the mine. This created a very dramatic contrast between the white quartz and the yellow of the gold. Jewelry crafted from gold quartz became quite a fashion statement of the 1880's. An unusual and gorgeous gold quartz locket...

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...
