What is a fob locket?
1 Answer
Fobs were originally created to attach to a man’s pocket watch, preventing it from falling out of his waistcoat pocket. Eventually, fobs were lengthened to be necklace chains, and women began carrying fobs with lockets and other pendants or jewelry attached. Find vintage and contemporary fob lockets from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
