Step Into a World of Distinguished Heritage…
Presenting a splendidly evocative Sterling silver fob medal, crafted by the esteemed Marples & Beasley, Jewellers and Medallists of Albion Street, Birmingham. An exquisite token of yesteryear, this piece bears the full suite of British hallmarks for 1925—a quiet testament to over a century of silversmithing tradition and impeccable English craftsmanship.
Forged in solid sterling, the medal feels substantial in the hand; a weight that speaks of enduring quality and lasting legacy. The obverse is graced by a finely rendered scene: a pool, two swimmers, and a poised diver—capturing a moment in time, all within a dignified laurel wreath. Crowning the design, quite literally, is a finely detailed royal crown, perhaps to underscore the original owner’s noble character.
A back inscription tells its unique story: awarded in 1950 to B Bolton for Life Saving. Far more than just a decorative pendant, this medal carries with it the echoes of British valour and a subtle nod to heritage. It’s a taste of a more elegant era, now beautifully at home as a pendant: a statement of refinement for the modern day.
Whether you’re drawn to its storied past, its robust feel or simply its undeniable style, this Albion Street original is more than just jewellery—it’s a legacy to be worn, admired, and passed on.
