Step Into a World of Distinguished Heritage…
Introducing a splendidly evocative Sterling silver fob, crafted by the renowned Thomas Fattorini, esteemed silversmiths of Hockley Street, Birmingham. This exquisite piece, hallmarked with full British silver marks for 1931 in Birmingham, stands as a timeless testament to fine English silversmithing and craftsmanship almost a century ago.
Forged in solid sterling silver, the fob feels substantial and reassuring in the hand—a solid weight that speaks of enduring quality and legacy. The front is adorned with a beautifully enameled coat of arms which includes the Latin motto, "Deo Adjuvante Labor Proficit" which translates to, "With God's help, our labour is successful." This phrase is closely associated with the city of Sheffield and appears on its coat of arms. The motto reflects Sheffield's historic values, especially its reliance on skilled labor and industry, and the belief that such efforts prosper through divine assistance.
Unengraved and pristine, it offers a subtle yet striking charm borne from its heritage and meticulous design. This is far more than a mere pendant; it is a wearable piece of history, a nod to a more distinguished era, perfectly suited to grace the modern wearer.
Whether you admire its rich history, solid craftsmanship, or timeless design, this Birmingham creation — hallmarked in the city — carries a proud connection to Sheffield. It is far more than a piece of jewellery: it is a heritage to be worn, cherished, and handed down through the generations.
