Vintage spinning fob with tigers eye and onyx, in 9 carat gold
Vintage spinning fob with tigers eye and onyx, in 9 carat gold
A stunning contemporary (c. 1980s) spinning double fob decorated with a wonderful duo of stones: tigers eye and onyx - both with powerful properties. This piece has a gorgeous frame, creating a lovely suspension of the stones with hues of buttery gold throughout.
During the Victorian era, fobs were a trendy accessory often paired with a gentleman's pocket watch. These fobs were crafted to feature an intaglio seal, allowing images, phrases, or monograms to be pressed into sealing wax on significant documents or love letters sent to faraway loved ones. In today's age, they make wonderful pendants, adding a touch of heritage to a modern look.
