antique 9 carat gold spinning watch fob pendant, featuring rich bloodstone on one side and deep carnelian on the reverse. this elegant double-sided centerpiece is accented by a beautifully patinated bronze-covered vintage lucite bead, adding warmth and contrast to the design. the pendant hangs from a vintage solid brass grooved rolo chain that offers both texture and timeless charm. finished with a rustic brown lobster claw clasp and matching toggle ring, both lead and cadmium free.
originally designed in the 18th and 19th centuries, watch fobs were both functional and ornamental, used to attach pocket watches to a waistcoat or belt while showcasing personal style. often made from fine metals and stones, spinning fobs like this one allowed the wearer to alternate between carved crests, stones, or intaglios, serving as both a timepiece accessory and a statement of sophistication.
