Antique Fob / Watch Fob / Miniature Fob / Ribbon Fob / Amethyst Fob
Watch fobs go back as far as the first pocket watches, probably dating to the victorian era.
The purpose of a watch fob was to make the pocket watch more accessible, giving the user something to grab on to when pulling a pocket watch out of a vest or pants pocket.
Though fobs are often thought to be made of a piece of flat metal a fob could also be a short chain or ribbon or anything else that allowed a person to withdraw the watch to check the time.
This watch fob was originally part of a ribbon fob, and would look great as the central element of a choker.
The fob features a buckle type closure that is heavily embellished and the tiniest little amethyst fob.
