This remarkable Victorian swivel pendant Fob exemplifies the fine artistry and symbolism of the 19th century. Crafted in 64% gold (approximately 15K), it features a double-sided design — one side displays rich dark green bloodstone flecked with crimson, while the reverse reveals a finely carved hematite intaglio wax seal depicting a Roman soldier profile.
The detailed gold frame is adorned with ornate scrollwork and hand-engraved accents, a hallmark of the era’s craftsmanship. The swivel mechanism allows the pendant to rotate smoothly, offering two distinct looks — one bold and mysterious, the other classical and elegant.
This pendant embodies the romantic and symbolic artistry of the Victorian age — combining strength, intellect, and beauty. The Roman intaglio speaks to classical ideals and personal legacy, while the bloodstone adds an earthy richness and protective meaning. A stunning collector’s piece or heirloom-quality pendant that tells a story of history and craftsmanship.
