RARE Victorian Sterling Silver Ram Banded Agate & Carnelian Spinner Fob

Description: A rare Victorian spinner fob brimming with charm, this Sterling Silver treasure showcases a finely modelled ram poised above a double-sided swivel. One face glows with rich orange-red Carnelian, the other reveals striking Banded Agate with crisp parallel stripes—each polished domed cabochon framed by smooth, closed bezels. The sculptural ram’s textured fleece and the softly aged patina lend irresistible character and depth. Elegantly proportioned and wonderfully tactile, it captures the whimsy and novelty that made Victorian figural jewels so beloved. Fully hallmarked for Birmingham 1888, it’s a distinctive collectible that wears beautifully and brings a pastoral flourish to any antique jewellery curation. Item Details: ERA: Victorian, c.1888.
