MIXED METALS BROOCH NECKLACE
The Mixed Metals Brooch Necklace features at its heart is a small Victorian sterling silver brooch, elegantly adorned with yellow and rose gold accents. This brooch has been artfully converted to hold a stunning antique silver and rose gold fob medal, seamlessly integrating historical beauty with contemporary elegance.
The entire piece is gracefully suspended on a unique blend of gold and silver chains, offering a harmonious fusion of metals that complements any style. As well as featuring the original engraving on the pieces dating back from 1927.
In the Victorian era, a well-dressed gentleman adhered to a strict dress code, where understated yet functional jewellery items were a mark of refinement. The watch chain, one of the last personal expression outlets in a restrained society, held the esteemed fob. Originally designed to ease the retrieval of a pocket watch, fobs often took the form of medals or spinners, hanging elegantly from the watch chain and anchored by a short chain or ribbon.
Jewellery in Victorian times was more than just adornment; it was a vessel of sentiment and meaning. Celebratory gifts, tokens of love, and symbols of friendship were saturated with emotional significance. The Victorians developed an intricate language of love and affection, using flowers, gems, and jewellery to convey elaborate messages. Gemstones were often arranged to spell out phrases such as "Je t’adore," while everyday motifs carried specific meanings. For example, a dog symbolised "faithful service," while a butterfly paired with a flower expressed "I am happy." Floral arrangements were meticulously crafted to communicate entire messages, understood by all classes in society.
Whether worn as a statement piece or given as a cherished gift, this antique brooch and fob medal ensemble is a beautiful bridge between past and present, rich with stories waiting to be told.
