Sterling Silver & Enamel Fob–Pendant, 1926
 
Cast in 1926 by Birmingham's Fattorini & Sons Ltd and bearing full British hallmarks, this sterling silver fob–pendant carries the spirit of interwar sporting pride. On the obverse, a vivid cobalt–blue enamel ribbon with the words “B’GHAM WORKS AMATEUR CRICKET ASSn” encircles the pendant, embracing a striking shield–shaped cartouche with cobalt blue, rich red, and crisp white enamel — colours that still gleam a century on.
 
Turn it over, and the personal story continues: the reverse is neatly engraved “WINNERS DIV 2 1926”, preserving the year, the triumph, and perhaps the very moment the team’s victory was called. The maker’s cartouche, stamped F & S, sits proudly amongst the full hallmarks, affirming both quality and heritage.
 
This sterling silver and enamel fob–pendant can be styled in several ways:
On a Fine Necklace: Suspend the fob–pendant from a delicate silver chain to wear it as a pendant necklace. This highlights its vibrant enamel colours and intricate design, making it a statement piece that complements both casual and dressier outfits.
With a Ribbon or Velvet Cord: For a softer, more vintage-inspired look, wear the pendant on a deep-hued ribbon or velvet cord. This evokes the era it comes from and adds texture and richness to your ensemble.
On a Watch Chain or Bracelet: Attach the fob to a pocket watch chain or a charm bracelet for a nod to its traditional use, mixing old-world elegance with contemporary fashion. This works particularly well with tailored or smart-casual attire.
Layered with Other Necklaces: Combine the fob–pendant with other necklaces of varying lengths and styles for a curated, layered look that’s very on-trend. Let the vintage fob be the focal point amid more modern pieces.
 
A tangible memento of a golden summer long past, this piece captures the camaraderie of the pitch, the cheer of a well–struck ball, and the modest splendour of a time when trophies were worn close to the heart.
