DUAL TONE MEDAL NECKLACE
The Dual Tone Medal Necklace celebrates contrast and history through its union of a sterling silver fob medal and a copper fob medal, both suspended from an unusual chain of silver and rose gold plating. The interplay of warm and cool tones reflects both strength and refinement, while the medals themselves recall a heritage of Victorian ritual and personal symbolism.
In the 19th century, the well-dressed Victorian gentleman adhered to a restrained dress code, where jewellery was largely absent except for the functional elegance of the watch chain. Fob medals — suspended at the waist and often engraved with shields or crests — were one of the few opportunities for self-expression, acting as discreet declarations of identity, loyalty, or personal achievement. Attached by short chains or ribbons, these medals also served a practical purpose, making the retrieval of a pocket watch swift and effortless.
Reimagined here in a dual-metal composition, the Dual Tone Medal Necklace transforms these antique fragments into a modern relic — a piece that honours its utilitarian roots while evolving into a bold emblem of personal style
All pieces are antiques and as such should be handled with care
