14K Gold Georgian Double Dolphin Fob with Bloodstone Cartouche

$1,100.00
Circa the 1840’s, this rare dolphin fob has two dolphins with intertwined tails that form a bail. The dolphins are hand-engraved with great details, and the eyes, mouths, and fins of the dolphins can be seen. The dolphins sit on top of a rounded rectangular base, that holds a bezel set bloodstone cartouche tablet. The cartouche has no engraving, and could be engraved with initials or a family crest personal to you. The dolphins, as well as the pedestal they sit on and the sides of the bezel, are engraved with a cross-hatch quilted pattern. The double dolphin is a rare image, not often seen in Georgian jewelry, making this piece very special. 

Dolphins were traditionally seen as good omens for protection and safe passage, and were often given as gifts to those about to take a voyage by sea. 

The fob is shown here with a tiny added clip-on bail that will accommodate a larger chain and allow the fob to lay flat. It is available for purchase in our shop and makes a great addition to this piece. See our 14K Gold Clip-On Bail or Extender for Charms or Pendants

The fob measures 7/8” x 7/16” and weighs 3.04 grams.
