This exquisite high karat gold fob is a stunning example of Victorian craftsmanship, featuring an intricately carved citrine seal with an elegant monogram. The beautifully cut and polished citrine, showcases a finely detailed intaglio engraving of letter "BTW", likely representing the initials of a distinguished individual or family crest.

The fob's gold framework is a true work of art, adorned with ornate grapevine and leaf motifs, symbolising prosperity and abundance. The textured gold detailing, combined with the rich, warm hue of the citrine, creates a striking contrast, making this piece both visually captivating and historically significant.

Fobs like this were traditionally worn on watch chains, serving both a functional and decorative purpose. It can be worn as a pendant or charm.
