Victorian Style 9 Carat Gold Bloodstone and Carnelian Swivel Fob Pendant - A Victorian style swivel fob pendant featuring a reversible oval setting. The pendant is set with two hardstone seals: one side featuring a dark green bloodstone with red jasper inclusions, and the reverse side featuring a translucent reddish-orange carnelian. The central oval mount is housed within a decorative yoke featuring a curb-link chain design, surmounted by a suspension ring. The side of the metal setting bears a series of stamped marks in rectangular cartouches; a numeral 9 is clearly legible, indicating the gold purity, followed by additional symbols and a letter date mark which are worn and not clearly legible as a specific assay office or year. The construction suggests a 9 carat gold or gold-cased yellow metal.
