A fancy antique Victorian Albert chain featuring a fabulous swivel fob pendant suspended from the bottom that can be rotated. It’s set with a deep-orange carnelian on one side and a speckled green bloodstone on the reverse, both unengraved.   

Fob pendants were a fashionable accessory in the 19th Century, often worn on an Albert chain alongside a pocket watch. The seal, which was sometimes engraved with an identifiable image or monogram could also be used to stamp sealing wax on important letters or documents, making them functional as well as stylish.  

The fob is fashioned in a rosy 9ct gold along with the chain which consists of interlocking fetter links, scalloped cable links with engraving down the sides and two claw clasps. It's a wonderful antique find, dating to the late 19th Century and all in excellent condition.
