An antique spinner fob dated to 1900, crafted in sterling silver and set with bloodstone to one side and carnelian to the other. The circular stone section rotates within the silver frame, allowing either side to face forward and giving the piece its original spinner function.
The mount has a clean, compact form with articulated side supports and a suspension loop above, while the two contrasting agates give the fob a completely different appearance depending on which side is shown. Originally intended for a watch chain, it now works particularly well worn as a pendant.
Presented in good antique condition with age-related wear consistent with its age. The spinner mechanism remains functional and both stones are securely set. The hallmarks are slightly worn but remain legible.
Era:
Late Victorian, 1900
Hallmarks:
Birmingham assay office, sterling silver with date letter 'a' for the year 1900. Maker's mark 'JA'. Hallmarks are slightly worn but legible.
