About the Item

Dudley VanDyke's Acanthus Fob is featured in 14K Yellow Gold with a hand carved Lapis Lazuli floral stone. The Acanthus Fob is also available by custom order in Sterling Silver as well as in alternate stones: Tiger Eye and Green Aventurine. This piece is typically made to order, though we may have one in stock. For an accurate handling time, please contact us prior to purchase. Inspired by the classic beauty and symbolism of antique European watch fobs and chains, especially the deeply personal pieces of the Victorian era, these fobs are elegant, bold, timeless, and always a conversation starter. Dudley VanDyke fobs are incredibly versatile and look as chic with a t-shirt and jeans as they do for black tie. For centuries prior to the World War I advent of the wristwatch, men carried their personal watches in waistcoat pockets. The short chains, attached for easy handling of the watch, became the centerpiece of the gentlemen’s ensemble and provided the opportunity to hang additional decorative objects. The fobs hanging from each pocket became quite elaborate, and small personal seals were often attached to the free end, signifying institutions, associations and even loved ones. Fob-style was the definition of menswear chic for a good portion of the 19th century. Cast in 14K Gold and Sterling Silver, Dudley VanDyke fobs are adorned with elements of semi-precious stones such as Malachite, Lapis and Quartz and can be personalized to the client’s liking. Dudley VanDyke's single and double Albert chains of varying patterns and length are designed based on antique originals and allow the wearer to switch our fobs (or wear them together) for different looks. The rich layers available for individual expression are endless with Dudley VanDyke. These are heirloom pieces meant to be passed down through the generations.
