Victorian Carnelian Fob

Closed, opens at 11amIndependent shop in DowntownDirections

Available from Isadora's Antique Jewlery when we last checked, in the last two days. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Circa 1860. This fantastic Victorian Fob features a carnelian intaglio carved depicting four children, each with a snake around its neck. This representation may seem strange to us, but a child's neck encircled with a snake was not uncommon in Victorian heraldry. In fact, this image could reference the family name Vaughn. The carnelian is bezel set in 9KT gold.
