Steeped in beautiful antique detailing this solid 15ct gold watch key would have been used by a Georgian gent to wind his pocket watch but she's now its a unique pendant for you to wear and adore.
Crafted in warm old rosy gold the key has a thick hanging loop on the top that swivels. A perfectly round orb of glowing orange Scottish carnelian decorates the centre set in a pinched collet setting typical of the period. The steel watch winder mechanism is still in the end too, fully functional and beautiful!
We have added a new Italian rose-gold plated sterling silver Belcher chain so this delightful little curio from two centuries past is ready to wear right out of the box. A gorgeous addition to any antique jewellery collection!
