A striking and weighty (4.8g) solid 9ct gold fob set with richly banded tiger’s eye, fully hallmarked for London and dating to the late 20th century. Designed in the Victorian revival style, it draws inspiration from the traditional watch fobs worn on gentleman’s chains in the 19th century.
Tiger’s eye has long been associated with protection, strength and clarity. Its golden bands catch the light beautifully, a quality that made it especially popular in Victorian jewellery. The engraved shield motifs and openwork mount echo heraldic symbolism linked to honour and resilience.
