Victorian Bloodstone/Carnelian Flip Fob

Dated 1899; Birmingham, England. This quintessential 9KT gold Victorian antique spinner fob showcases both form and function through its elegant double-sided design.

Set within a gold swivel mount, the rotating centerpiece features two richly polished hardstones: deep green bloodstone, flecked with natural red inclusions, and warm, glowing carnelian. The fob pivots smoothly within its frame, allowing either side to be displayed.

Both decorative and practical, this piece would have been worn on a gentleman’s watch chain, serving as a signet, talisman, and subtle expression of personal style.
