Fob/shield

[Mondayschild]

Hi all

Couple of questions!!

1. Wondering if anyone has knowledge on the type of chain something like this would have been on? (Or is it a fob that would be on watch chain)

2. What would suit it? It's rose gold & I only have a very fine chain. Anyone have anything similar & can recommend a complementary style?

Thanks in advance

You should consider an antique fob watch chain but worn as a necklace. They are generally rose gold, 9ct for the most part.

Thanks. Any good Aussie leads? Or try eBay?

I've ended up putting one from lilicoco on layaway

Thank you! Someone recommended lilicoco on Etsy & their service was great (did layaway on sale price).

That was probably me - I love their site (pics are really helpful and very representative of real life) and the range of options they have is great. They’re lovely to deal with and I could watch their Insta feed for hours - such beautiful shots.

I love the shield shape of your pendant! Look forward to pics on the chain when you finish layaway.

@lissyflo - I checked, it was you, thank you!! The price was quite reasonable too I thought. Finalising the layaway soon, just have to wait for shipping from UK to Aus (USA and UK to Aus very slow at the moment- understandably).

 

[Mondayschild]

Ok! So the shield hasn't arrived yet (international post at this time a bit unpredictable) but the rose gold chain arrived & is lovely!!

Looks beautiful. Can't wait to see the whole thing together!

 

[Mondayschild]

It's here! I love it but I fear the fob is really different metal colour & therefore looks bad?? Thoughts.

Both pieces are lovely, but I would probably wear them separately. Or, do you have other fobs or charms you could add for a total mixed metal look. I guess I’m saying I like them enough to keep both and find a way to make it work

 

[Mondayschild]

Husbands idea - he gave me pearl pendant in rose gold. Think it matches well??

 

[Mondayschild]

And put the shield on the plain chain the pearl was on

I love the new combinations! Something about the delicate, ethereal pearl combined with a chunkier chain is very appealing to my eyes - I really like the contrast. And a delicate chain definitely makes the unusual shield shape of your pendant stand out. Great combinations!

(I must investigate pearl pendants to add to my antique chain. It really is a striking look!)

Thanks @lissyflo ! The pearl didn't occur to me as an option but now I see them together it looks good. At the moment I'm not getting to wear anything (Doctor - COVID ) but I long for the day I can wear these out and about.
