Georgian Gold Cased Citrine Fob with Split Ring

About the Item

This exquisite antique Georgian fob pendant is a stunning example of the ornate craftsmanship of that era. The fob is encased in gold with intricate floral motifs that decorate its surface, showcasing the skilled artisanship typical of Georgian jewelry. The pendant is further adorned with a 9-karat gold split ring, making it ideal for attachment to a chain or pocket watch. At the base of the fob rests a rich, dark yellow citrine stone, radiating warmth and depth. The citrine, with its vibrant color, was often associated with prosperity and protection, making it not just a decorative piece but one with symbolic significance as well. Fobs were highly popular during the Georgian period (1714-1837) and were originally designed for practical use. Attached to a gentleman’s pocket watch via a chain, fobs acted as a counterbalance, allowing the watch to be easily pulled from the waistcoat pocket. However, over time, these functional accessories became more ornate and symbolic, reflecting the wearer’s status and personal style. Often, fobs were fitted with engraved stones or seals, which could be pressed into hot wax to seal letters or documents, adding a personal and distinguished touch to one’s correspondence. This Georgian fob pendant, with its delicate floral gold casing and beautifully set citrine, captures the elegance and multi-functionality of fobs during that era. It is a perfect example of how these pieces combined practicality with the artistry of fine jewelry, making them treasured items of both utility and adornment. The citrine has some small scratches on its surface. Measurements: Height: 4.5 centimeters Length: 2.3 centimeters Width: 1.9 centimeters Weight: 13.7 grams
