How were fob charms originally worn?

These items originated as functional seals attached to the end of a pocket watch chain, allowing gentlemen to stamp wax correspondence. Over time, owners repurposed them as pendants or gathered them on charm bracelets for everyday wear.

Can I still use a stone fob to stamp wax?

Many Victorian and Edwardian pieces feature reverse-carved intaglios specifically designed for leaving an impression in sealing wax. If the stone is flat or engraved with a monogram, it functions just as it did a century ago.

How do I date a gold fob charm?

Dating relies on stylistic clues, motifs, and material combinations such as Victorian rose gold paired with bloodstone. Eras span from the nineteenth century through the Edwardian period and into mid-century novelty designs.
