This vintage 9ct gold fob dates to 1962-63 and exhibits a Victorian style. The piece comprises an oval bloodstone panel with dark green tones and natural red flecks, held within a clean, polished gold mount featuring a gadrooned rim and an arched suspension bail with an attached ring. Visible details include fluted moulding along the bezel, turning on the suspension hardware, and a UK hallmark of 9 375 with the Birmingham assay mark. The metal displays a bright gold finish and very light signs of wear consistent with excellent condition. Measuring 2 x 1.3 cm, this compact accessory suits everyday wear on a modern chain or pocket watch chain, or display within a curated jewellery collection.

FAQs

Historically, fobs were decorative mounts attached to pocket watch chains, frequently set with flat hardstones such as bloodstone to function as personal wax seals for correspondence.

Antique fobs were commonly constructed from 9ct or 15ct gold, sterling silver, or pinchbeck, framing durable hardstones like bloodstone, carnelian, agate, and onyx.

Authentic period fobs usually display hallmarks or makers marks on the loop, hand-chased detailing around the bezel, and natural variations within the set bloodstone.

An antique fob can be repurposed as a standalone pendant on a modern gold chain, added to a charm necklace, or appended to a heavy Albert chain.

Wipe the gold mount gently using a microfibre polishing cloth, and avoid submerging natural hardstones in harsh chemical cleaners or ultrasonic baths.
