This is a rare, investment-grade Victorian fob that serves as a stunning tribute to the 19th-century "Sporting Life." Measuring a dramatic 4 inches in total length, this piece was designed to make a statement. It features a soulful, high-relief double-sided medallion of two horses framed by a "Good Luck" horseshoe—symbolizing speed, fidelity, and fortune.
• Unlike common light plating, this piece features a heavy 12K Rose Gold finish over a .800 Fine Silver base. The higher karat gold provides a deep, warm glow that has aged beautifully over the last 130 years.
• The medallion is suspended within a geometric "cage" frame intricately decorated with hand-integrated Niello. This ancient metallic-sulfide technique creates a permanent, velvet-black contrast that frames the silver horse relief perfectly.
• Topped with an authentic, fixed (non-swivel) Niello dog-clip, this fob is engineered to hang perfectly straight, making it an ideal choice for a focal pendant on a heavy chain.
• Era: Late Victorian (c. 1890).
• Material: .800 Fine Silver with 12K Rose Gold Vermeil and Niello inlay.
• Double-sided Equestrian / Horseshoe "Good Luck" motif.
• A substantial 4 Inches in total drop length.
• Weight: 8.4 Grams.
• Excellent Antique Condition. The Niello work is crisp, and the 12K rose gold displays a gorgeous, authentic patina with "highs and lows" that confirm its 19th-century origin.
This 4-inch fob is a "unicorn" in the Niello world. Most fobs are barely an inch long; finding one of this scale with double-sided imagery is a rare opportunity for a serious collector. It carries the weight and presence of a true Victorian heirloom.
