Antique Victorian Hallmarked Silver Bloodstone and Carnelian Swivel Fob
A stylish Antique silver swivel fob Hallmarked for Chester 1895.
The fob swivels to reveal a choice of bloodstone or carnelian panels.The bloodstone in this fob is particularly attractive.
This hard stone gem was so named to represent the spilled blood on the battlefield of Culloden in the Scottish Highlands.
Carnelian was symbolic of courage and bravery.
The linked chain swivel mount is securely attached to the main body with silver pins. The ball and split band bail attach to a large silver jump ring.
Whilst originally intended as a decorative addition to a gentleman’s watch/fob chain this piece would work well as an interesting pendant.
In good condition. Some surface marks- see pics.
