There is something resolute about a bloodstone, and this Victorian silver fob has one worth showing off. Deep forest green, almost black in certain light, and then suddenly alive with scattered flecks of iron-red, like embers caught beneath polished glass. This rectangular seal stone sits firmly within an ornate silver mount, crowned with scrollwork and a twisted rope bale that feels architectural, even heraldic. It has presence. The kind of piece that once swung from a gentleman’s watch chain, tapping quietly against a waistcoat as he moved through the world with purpose.

Handcrafted in London around 1900, this fob is made in solid silver and is fully hallmarked with the lion passant and leopard’s head, confirming English sterling origin. The maker’s mark is worn and the date letter is no longer legible. The bloodstone panel measures 17.5 x 14.2 x 2.5 millimeters. Overall, the piece measures 33.5 mm north to south including the surmount, 21 mm across, and 18 mm deep, and weighs 10.14 grams.

What makes this fob so compelling is its sculptural quality. The repoussé silverwork rises and curls with confidence, framing the stone like a miniature monument. Worn today as a pendant, it feels strong, grounded, and unmistakably Victorian, a fragment of another era, still carrying its quiet authority.
