This stunning vintage 9ct gold charm is beautifully crafted in the form of a spinner fob, featuring a rich-dark red carnelian on one side and a rich-black onyx on the other, each cut into smooth cabochons. The piece rotates elegantly within its gold frame, adding movement and charm to any bracelet or necklace.
Spinner fobs date back to the Victorian and Edwardian eras, originally worn on watch chains as both practical seals and decorative accessories. Carnelian was often associated with protection and courage, while onyx symbolised strength and grounding making this combination especially meaningful. Today, these fobs are treasured as collectible pieces of antique jewellery, admired for their craftsmanship and timeless appeal.
