Edwardian Bloodstone Double Snake Fob

Description

DATE: Edwardian, c.1910

A charming antique rose gold fob pendant dating from the Edwardian period, with English hallmarks for Chester and the year 1906. The fob body comprises two solid gold snakes, swirling and intertwined, while the bloodstone panel set in the base remains uncarved. These fobs were originally worn on the end of a pocket watch chain, but we think they make great pendants paired with a fine chain.

Historically, the serpent has been a great symbol of fertility and, through the shedding of their skin, represent re-birth, immortality, and healing
