Circa 1800, a charming 15ct gold Georgian fob pendant set with a forest green bloodstone seal. Steeped in beautiful antique detail it is crafted in warm yellow gold in a graceful neo-classical design with a crown motif and elegant engraved lines.
The forest green bloodstone seal in the base is held tightly in a multitude of nipped claws adding to the ornate decoration. The gold chunky D-shaped suspension ring at the top is lined with a steel tube which prevents the soft gold wearing away at the ring, the rest of the fob is solid gold.
As fobs go she is quite a dainty feminine size and is bound to be a one made for a lady. Originally worn on pocket watch chains or chatelaines these gorgeous high quality gold fobs make for unique antique pendants, pair her with your favourite gold chain! Note the chain shown is not included.
