Antique 14ct Gold & Lapis Lazuli Starry Fob
An antique domed fob with lapis lazuli matrix carved with initials ‘TS’ or ‘ST’.
The dome is decorated with five pointed stars.
Crafted in 14ct warm yellow gold. The bail appears to be plated base metal.
Why we love it
The lapus lazuli is a wonderfully intense blue which compliments and contrasts the warm yellow dome perfectly evoking a night sky adorned with stars.
Each star is slightly different in shape and placement indicating that they have been individually hand chased, a detail we adore.
