Antique 9ct Gold Carnelian & Bloodstone Spinner Fob

£245.00

A beautifully preserved Victorian spinner fob, crafted in solid 9ct gold and set with two rich and contrasting stones - a warm carnelian and a dark, enigmatic bloodstone. Bearing clear Chester hallmarks for 1896, this elegant piece embodies the late 19th century’s fascination with sentiment, symbolism, and craftsmanship.

Originally suspended from a gentleman’s Albert watch chain, such fobs were both practical and personal. The smoothly polished stones would once have been engraved with a family crest or monogram, used to seal letters in wax - a romantic ritual from an age when correspondence was both art and intimacy.

Today, this fine example makes a striking pendant when worn on a gold chain - equally suited to layering with other antique charms or standing alone as a piece of quiet sophistication. The gold mount retains its crisp detailing, the spinner turns smoothly, and both stones remain in excellent condition - a lovely survivor of the Victorian era.

Details:

  • Date: 1896

  • Origin: Chester, England

  • Metal: 9ct Gold (hallmarked)

  • Stones: Carnelian & Bloodstone (reversible)

  • Diameter: 18.5mm

  • Condition: Excellent antique condition, crisp hallmarks, smooth rotation

Hallmarks - 375 for 9ct gold, Chester Assay Office, Date Letter N for 1896 (serifs in a chamfered rectangular shield)
