Description
A rare and beautifully made 15ct gold pendant fob from the late Victorian era, c.1880.
One side is set with polished bloodstone; the other, with a carnelian seal stone deeply engraved with a family crest, possibly that of the Massey family.
The crest features a griffin, along with the family’s Latin family motto, finely cut into the stone.
Both sides are framed in a clean, square bezel with a hidden hinge.
Originally created as a gentleman’s watch fob, this piece has been subtly adapted into a striking modern pendant.
The locket opens smoothly to reveal a hidden compartment, historically used to hold a protective charm or personal keepsake.
Chain length: 41cm. Fob: 1cm x 1cm.
