About the Item
A fob is an adornment or a seal that hangs from the ribbon or chain of a pocket watch. Its purpose is to decorate or add weight to the watch chain itself, making it easier for the watch to be withdrawn from a pocket.
A wonderful chalcedony fob from the Victorian (ca1880s) era! This beautiful and sentimental piece is crafted in gold fill and is substantial in size. At the base of the fob is an flat, pale blue slice of chalcedony, which could be carved with an personal insignia or crest. The body of the fob has a heavily carved surface featuring a rich floral motif and soft flourishes. At the top of the fob's handle is an open ring etched with more floral patterns, perfect for hanging the piece from a chain or charm bracelet. Antique fobs are particularly popular among collectors and this one would make a perfect addition to any collection!
Measurements: The fob stands about 2 1/2" tall, including the handle and ring. The base of the fob measures 1 1/4" long and just over 1" wide.
Condition: The overall condition of the fob is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold filled setting. The chalcedony seal is intact and free of noticeable chips or scratches.

Victorian Inlaid Gold Quartz Locket Pendant
Located in Narberth, PA
Gold-in-quartz was formed while the earth was still in its molten state. During the cooling and solidification process, veins of gold became trapped with the crystals of quartz in the mine. This created a very dramatic contrast between the white quartz and the yellow of the gold. Jewelry crafted from gold quartz became quite a fashion statement of the 1880's.

Victorian Chalcedony Gold Fob
Located in Lexington, KY
This is a beautiful example of a fob. The chalcedony on the bottom is in pristine condition. The deep scroll work is as beautiful today as it was when it was made. It looks like it went into someones jewelry box to only emerge recently. There is a lovely patina, born from age.
