This absolutely adorable antique 15ct solid gold pendant fob is a fully functioning miniature mechanical pencil. It would have been worn by a Victorian lady on a chain as a piece of jewellery so it is delightfully decorative.
The long tubular pendant features a sliding band set with Persian turquoise that moves up and down to reveal the pencil lead housing. The top has a moveable collar with a generously sized gold jump ring that will fit most chains. The sides are engraved in a feathered pattern with an orange blossom embossed finial at the top that is set with a genuine citrine that is foiled behind the stone.
A wonderful unique gift for a writer friend, a graduation and looks perfect when layered with other antique pendants!
