A fine quality 18th Century fob, a solid piece cased in 15k gold. The base is set with a citrine stone seal carved with the initials "JP" The citrine is a rich mustard yellow color with the gem displaying natural feather inclusions.
The fob itself is delightfully decorative with the the gold carved in a classic Georgian pattern of blossoms and acanthus leaves. It would have originally been worn on the end of a gentleman's watch chain, but would equally make for an very attractive pendant.
We have added a new 18" (46cm) gold vermeil (gold plated sterling silver) Belcher chain for wear as a pendant. . Our chains are manufactured in the Italy and are high quality and fully hallmarked. With its elegant round links the Belcher or rolo chain is one of the most enduring antique chain styles still available today, perfect for wear with antique pendants and lockets.
