A beautiful antique 9ct gold spinner watch fob, set with a deep bloodstone on one side and a rich carnelian on the other. The decorative gold mount is finely crafted and fully hallmarked for the Chester Assay Office, with the date letter ‘N’ for 1896.
The contrasting gemstones, bloodstone for strength and courage, carnelian for vitality and warmth — create a timeless balance that has made these pieces enduringly loved. Once worn on a gentleman’s watch chain, it can now be enjoyed as a striking pendant.
In lovely condition, this elegant fob captures both the craftsmanship and quiet symbolism of its era.
