LONE MEDAL NECKLACE

This unusually large fob medal, elegantly suspended from a premium leather cord pays homage to Victorian tradition while embracing modern style, making it a versatile addition to any jewellery collection. Whether worn alone or layered with other shorter necklaces, this fob medal is designed to draw attention and evoke a sense of timeless sophistication.

The fob medal is rooted in Victorian fashion, where the well-dressed gentleman adhered to a strict dress code, limiting his adornments to only the most essential and understated pieces. Among these, the watch chain was a rare outlet for personal expression in a society that valued restraint. Traditionally, the fob medal played a practical role: attached to a gentleman’s watch chain, it made retrieving a pocket watch effortless. Typically a medal or crest, the fob hung over the front of the pocket, securely connected to the watch chain by a short chain or ribbon.
