A fascinating late Victorian novelty spinner pendant, crafted in 9ct gold, dating to c.1890. The piece features a clear glass front enclosing three miniature gambling dice that can be shaken and moved inside; a playful and unusual feature. The reverse is set with a deep carnelian agate, showing just a couple of tiny nibbles to the edge. The main body spins and rotates freely, much like traditional watch fobs of the era. A rare and charming example of Victorian whimsy, perfect for collectors of antique curiosities or jewellery with a playful twist.
