 Whether you would like a one off necklace ready to wear or a unique pendant to add to your own chain or beads, an antique or vintage watch fob is the perfect choice.

A fob is an adornment or a seal that hung from the ribbon or chain of a Gentleman's pocket watch. Its purpose was to decorate or add weight to the watch chain and to show your status and wealth. They could be in the form of engraved seals, charms or other embellishments. Watch fob pendants or medallions were also often given as prizes or to commemorate a special occasion or event.

Nearly always crafted from sterling silver with gold or rose gold cartouches, the medallions also often had beautiful engraving or fancy detailing.

I think they make an interesting and beautiful pendant and never go out of style. Here is a selection of the watch fobs I currently have instore. All original late 19th or early 20th century examples, all unique with stories to tell.
