I have dealt in antiques and collectables for decades and have attended fairs across the globe. Now that I am advancing in years my son, Nate, is slowly taking over and moving items online more than physical. Primarily I deal in watches and jewellery but have lots of other interesting stuff.
We are not a big business so will only be adding stock as and when we can and will respond to all enquiries as time permits.

An absolutely gorgeous Victorian spinning Albert fob with carnelian and bloodstone panels. This is probably the largest of this type of fob we have ever seen.
Full details and dimensions are provided below but please feel free to drop us a line if you have any questions either via the site or email : luvenq@natesgems.com
ABOUT THIS SPINNER FOB
Constructed from solid 9ct gold (375 parts per 1000)
Fully maker assay marked old style UK. X-ray tested.
Dates to middle of the 19th Century (c1850s)
The style is classic Victorian, of very sturdy construction and high quality.
Features a lovely gold twist design with a classic dual gemstone spinner fob. It is all in excellent order and neither panel is engraved.
Gemstones: Oval cabochon intaglio panels of carnelian and bloodstone measuring approx 29mm x 22mm each.
Has a large twist bail to the top and could be attached to almost anything but most commonly to a watch chain or as a pendant on a necklace.
Condition is excellent, especially considering its age. I can polish to "as new" for a small fee.
Length is 50mm.
Width is 31 mm.
It sits 11 mm proud.
Weight is 21 grams (to nearest)
Purchase price includes worldwide tracked and insured postage - USA will vary due to tariff changes.
Returns accepted under the terms of the 2015 Consumer Rights Act (we don't quibble)
CONDITION
I try to let honest photography give the best overview of condition. I do not use professional photographers (you'd just have to pay more if I did) and do not photoshop or enhance pictures in any way.
I simply take macro pictures in a homemade lightbox to provide the most honest portrayal possible. I clean lightly before snapping but do not polish to "as new" though this can obviously be done.
It is only my opinion but I feel antique items that are polished too much lose some of the character.
I will always note any faults and will always answer honestly when asked regarding any imperfections.
