A finely crafted 9ct gold swivel fob set with richly banded carnelian, fully hallmarked for Birmingham and dating to the late 20th century. Inspired by traditional Victorian watch fobs, it echoes the decorative seals worn on gentleman’s chains in the 19th century.
Carnelian has been valued since antiquity and was especially favoured during the Victorian era. It is traditionally associated with courage, protection and confidence. The warm red tones and natural banding give the stone depth and presence, framed by a polished gold mount.
