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.
Susie Lewis, the founder of Flew Design, brings her unique artistic vision and craftsmanship to each piece blending historical elements with contemporary design. Since 2015, Flew Design has been collaborating with The Signet Bureau, bringing exceptional craftsmanship and curated collections to a wider audience. This partnership showcases unique and meaningful jewellery pieces, allowing customers to own a piece of history reimagined through modern artistry.
