Not where she said she’d be.

Very few people seemed surprised by this. By that point, the situation had settled into something closer to pattern than exception.

Centered with a carved black onyx intaglio depicting Mercury, the Roman messenger god associated with travel, commerce, and swift exits, this antique gold filled watch fob was originally worn from a gentleman’s chain during the late Victorian to Edwardian period. Worn now as a pendant, the piece keeps all of its original sharpness. The dark onyx, sculptural setting, and mythological profile give it a clean graphic presence that lands somewhere between heirloom, signet, and after-hours accessory.
