My Darling Juliet | Early Victorian 14K Gold & Citrine Fob, Ornate Antique Pendant, c.1840s

Early Victorian 14K Gold & Citrine Fob, Ornate Antique Pendant, c.1840s

This elegant early Victorian fob, crafted in solid 14 karat gold, is a beautiful example of the fine workmanship of the mid-19th century. The piece features ornate gold decoration and a glowing citrine gemstone with a cheerful lemony yellow hue. Likely foil-backed to enhance its brilliance, the citrine is cut in a decorative round shape, adding extra character beyond a standard circular cut.

Once worn as a practical watch fob, today it shines as a pendant or charm, adding history and color to any chain. Its smaller size and warm golden glow make it especially versatile and wearable.

A refined and timeless piece, this Victorian fob is a treasure to collect and wear—perfect on its own or layered among other antique charms.

All of the jewelry listed here is antique and pre-owned, meaning it may show signs of wear, which is a testament to its rich history and the stories it carries. Far from being “perfect” or “brand new,” this is what makes antique pieces so special – they’ve been loved, cherished, and worn over time. I believe that these imperfections only add to their character and charm, and they’re ready for their next chapter with you.

As with all antique jewelry, the stones may show subtle signs of wear, like surface abrasions or a natural patina, which only add to their unique character. Antique cuts and settings can differ from modern styles, contributing to their charm and individuality. Any significant imperfections or repairs will be clearly noted in the listings. Thank you for appreciating the beauty of their uniqueness!

Shipping insurance is required and INCLUDED in cost for any item over $200 to ensure your purchase is fully protected during transit. This listing will also include a signature upon delivery.
