This rare and ornate antique Georgian sterling silver pendant fob is set with the most beautiful early "slag" glass seal that is streaked in dramatic brown, copper, white and cream lines. We did think it was a dramatic piece of banded agate until we tested it.
Finely hand-crafted in solid silver it is a fairly large size and features heraldic style decoration with ornate scroll work and eagles. The base set in a large half-round sphere of glass which is backed in silver.
This rare Georgian fob will look incredible paired with a substantial silver chain to match its character, a unique addition to your antique jewellery collection.
