This type of jewelry was popular during the Victorian Era. The fobs were attached to a pocket watch by a strap, chain, or ribbon. Watch fobs represented the owner’s interests. They could be an advertisement, a fraternal or military theme, initials, family crests, a seal, or a simple decorative piece. They were worn by both men and women.
The gold content of this piece has been tested using standard accepted testing methods, such as acid testing. The onyx is un-engraved and in pristine condition.
