An unusual Victorian pocket watch chain toggle bar crafted from beautifully banded agate and fitted with gold filled findings. The tapered cylindrical form showcases natural bands of cream, honey, caramel, and deep brown, creating a striking combination of color and pattern.
Originally intended for use as a watch chain toggle or replacement T-bar, this uncommon accessory offers excellent versatility for today’s collector. The elongated shape and natural agate banding also make it an attractive pendant or conversation piece.
The polished agate displays attractive natural variation and remains in very good condition. The gold filled fittings complement the warm tones of the stone while preserving the piece’s antique character.
