9ct Gold Blue Paste Spinner Fob Pendant, England, late Victorian to early 20th century
A hallmarked 9ct gold spinner fob pendant set with a pale blue faceted paste stone, mounted in a restrained gold frame. The pendant rotates freely on its axis, a feature associated with late Victorian fob seals and watch-chain ornaments.
Paste stones of this type were widely used during the period for their optical clarity and responsiveness to low light.
Whether originally worn on a watch chain or adapted early as a pendant, pieces of this kind occupy the threshold between utility and ornament.
Supplied on a modern 45 cm 14ct gold-filled chain.

Pale blue faceted paste
Spinner / rotating pendant
Dimensions: 2.3 × 1.8 cm (including bale)
Condition: Excellent antique condition
Chain: 45 cm, 14ct gold-filled (modern replacement)
