Antique Victorian 10k Solid Gold Watch Fob Early 1800's.. Has a secret compartment behind the dark green bloodstone, with a picture of a little girl. About 11 inches long & weighs a whopping 85 grams. One of the 5 attached chains got loose on one side (easy repair). Other than that, it's in excellent condition for it's age. Super rare & definitely one of a kind watch fob. This piece reminds me of something you might see on the "Antique Road Show"... A must have, for those collector's out there!!! If you'd like more photos, send me a message. Feel free to make an offer!

ae_jewelry_coin When will this be for sale

Sep 28Reply

vintagefinds101 @ae_jewelry_coin It's actually currently for sale. First want to confirm its gold content. Do you have any knowledge about these types of watch fobs? I believe it's 10k or 12k. It might be gold filled or solid. Not sure, but will test it by or before Tuesday to know for sure. Weighs over 85 grams. Definitely one of a kind! Any info regarding era, etc would be appreciated. I'm assuming it's early 1800's? Thank you kindly.

ae_jewelry_coin @vintagefinds101 Hi there! Yes, most of these are gold filled. Of course some can also be 10-12K. I've started to buy these for myself, actually. I used to only wear white gold or sterling. Now I am gearing toward any color that peaks my interest. This necklace certainly does look like 1800's. Will you be getting this necklace x-rayed?

Sep 28Reply

vintagefinds101 @ae_jewelry_coin Thanks for your response. I'm curious, what's the benefit of getting it x-rayed? Is it because of the weight?

Sep 28Reply

ae_jewelry_coin @vintagefinds101 X-rayed will give exact percentages of all the metals that made the necklace and pendant. That way you know exactly what karat the necklace is and what to charge. Regardless if it is gold or just gold filled, I really want ittttttt hahah

vintagefinds101 @ae_jewelry_coin Where do they offer such service? The jeweler could perform an acid test for gold content, right? I've never heard of the x-ray one. Interesting.

Sep 28Reply

ae_jewelry_coin @vintagefinds101 I would steer away from acid test because you don't want to damage the item. Plus, acid test does not really test true purity but an estimation as to what it would be. X-ray machine is very expensive so you would have to call around and see who would have one.

vintagefinds101 @ae_jewelry_coin What's the estimated cost for the x-ray? Thanks.

vintagefinds101 @ae_jewelry_coin Hi. Can't find a jewelry store that offers the x-ray service. Anyway you can assist?

Oct 22Reply

ae_jewelry_coin @vintagefinds101 I can definitely get it x-rayed for you but would obviously need the piece with me.

cristeve is the locket stamped 10k and is the chains and other end gold ??

Jul 04Reply

vintagefinds101 @cristeve It's not stamped 10k, which is not unusual for an old piece like this. It was however confirmed 10k gold by a jeweler. The entire piece is gold, excluding the bloodstone. Thanks.

cristeve @vintagefinds101 Thank you for the information. Steve

Jul 04Reply

vintagefinds101 @cristeve No problem. Thank you kindly.

Jul 04Reply

cristeve @vintagefinds101 you made a good offer. I just can't afford it right now. I would have to sell of a lot of my pieces to get it at that price. if it takes a few days will that offer still stand?

Jul 04Reply

vintagefinds101 @cristeve Hi. Yes. Offer will still stand. Just send me a message when you are ready. Thank you kindly and have a wonderful day.

vintagefinds101 @alaska_kirsty Thank you, dear! I just sent you an offer! This piece is something like you see on "The Antique Road Show".. It's amazing!

Jan 20Reply

alaska_kirsty @vintagefinds101 I’d love to have it, but really have my eye on your emerald bracelet. It matches my emerald engagement ring like it was MADE for it. So dropping a hint to future hubby right now about it (aka texting him the link lol!).

heidienew I have my eye on the princess set! What’s your lowest or do you trade at all? Have you looked at m jewelry or whatever else? You have a beautiful closet!😊

jerryheather122 First thing, Do NOT ship this to anyone. Most likely you would never see it again. it was very rare to stamp gold in early 1800's so who cares if its not stamped. X-ray is definitely what you need to do. If you have a local goodwill take it there and ask the manager to x-ray. Every goodwill has a x-ray. What a beautiful rare piece you have.

vintagefinds101 @jerryheather122 Thank you kindly for that information. I sincerely appreciate it.

mobbrien589 Do you remember our first conversation when I had no idea I would ever touch the amber and gold and the necklace and the bracelet I was just commenting on what type of woman would work out Anna Friday morning wearing such beautiful. Do you remember that that’s how we metthis is fabulous. I hope you get every every penny.
