Victorian Gold Multi Stone 5-Fob Bracelet with Hand Clasp

A fob is an adornment or a seal that hangs from the ribbon or chain of a pocket watch. Its purpose is to decorate or add weight to the watch chain itself making it easier for the watch to be withdrawn from a pocket. The fob would have been used to seal the wax of a letter or note.

A very impressive multi fob bracelet from the Victorian (ca1880) era! This decorative piece is comprised of ten individual 9k and 15k gold fobs (indicating English origin) that hang from a 9k gold link bracelet. Each of the five fobs has a very ornate design complete with an agate seal or faceted gemstone at the base. Included in the ensemble of stones are carnelian, bloodstone, quartz, and amethyst. Beautiful hand-crafted accents complete the design of each fob, including intricate etched detail and ornate repousse work. The bracelet fastens together with a 9k hand clasp. A very special Victorian piece, it looks outstanding when worn and would make an outstanding addition to any fob collection!

Measurements: The bracelet measures approximately 7" long and would fit an average sized wrist. The fobs vary in size and shape, hanging approximately 3/4" to 1 " in length and measuring 1/2" to 3/4" wide at the base.

Condition: The overall condition of the bracelet is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold link bracelet or fobs. The clasp is secure and in good working condition. All of the seals and gemstones are intact, securely set.
