Our exquisite Victorian Carnelian Fob Charm Necklace features a central carnelian. Cherished for its deep hues and symbolic ties to courage and vitality, is a nod to the period's appreciation for meaningful gemstones set in intricate 9ct gold.
Fobs were traditionally used in the 18th and 19th centuries, especially during the Victorian era, as decorative attachments to pocket watches. They were essentially small ornaments or medallions that often had some functional purpose, like seals with an engraved or intaglio design that could be used to seal letters.
