This distinctive creation combines an antique copper military ‘Australia’ pin with a fragment of a Victorian-era brooch made from gold and copper, along with a sterling silver fob medal, all elegantly suspended on a sterling silver chain. Introducing an extraordinary piece by Melbourne’s acclaimed designer Susie Lewis of Flew Designs.
In the Victorian era, a well-dressed gentleman followed a strict dress code, allowing only understated and functional jewellery items. The gentleman’s watch chain was one of the rare opportunities for personal expression within this restrained society. Traditionally, the crossbar end of the chain was inserted into a buttonhole, with the watch placed in the vest pocket. The fob, typically a medal or crest, was designed to make retrieving the pocket watch easier. It hung over the pocket’s front, anchored to the watch chain by a short chain or ribbon.
Susie Lewis has masterfully repurposed these historical elements, creating a piece that is not only a beautiful accessory but also a tangible connection to the past. Each item from Flew Designs is a testament to the timeless elegance and historical significance of antique jewelry, making it a perfect addition to any collection.
