This antique watch fob locket is crafted in solid 9K yellow gold and features a horseshoe-form frame set with a carved black onyx intaglio depicting a classical warrior profile. Horseshoe motifs were commonly used on late Victorian watch accessories and are traditionally associated with luck and protection.
The piece opens as a locket, revealing an interior compartment, a functional feature frequently seen on antique watch fobs. It is fitted with an original spring ring clasp for secure attachment to a pocket watch chain or vest button.
Originally made as a watch fob locket, this piece may also be worn today as a pendant if desired, while retaining its original antique character.
