Antique 9ct Gold Spinner Fob Charm Red and Green Paste
A charming piece of history, this antique 9ct gold spinner fob with red and green paste showcases the elegance of Edwardian craftsmanship.

The spinner design features a vibrant duo of paste stones: a striking green on one side and a deep red on the reverse. These versatile colours make this hefty fob an exceptional piece for day-to-night wear, reflecting the period's love for clever, multi-functional jewellery.
