Antique Bloodstone Intaglio Fob in 9 Carat Gold; Circa 1904

A piece steeped in symbolism, this antique spinning fob is a wonderful example of Edwardian era jewellery from 1904. Designed to swivel within its 9 carat gold mount, the fob reveals two distinct faces. One deeply personal, the other elegantly understated.

On one side has a polished bloodstone, intricately hand carved with a heraldic stag and crown above the Latin motto “Virtute non verbis” — “By courage, not words.” This evocative scene speaks to timeless ideals of strength and honour. These values that were often designed in signets and seals passed down through generations. The reverse side features a smooth carnelian panel, simple and refined, offering a striking contrast to the detail of the engraved bloodstone.

Worn on a watch chain, pendant, or charm bracelet, this tactile and beautifully balanced piece remains as symbolic and stylish today as it was more than a century ago.
