Circa 1850, this exquisite antique 15ct gold Ankh Cross shaped pocket watch key is a rare bird! Once used by a well-heeled Victorian to wind his or her pocket watch she is now an adorable little pendant that you can wear daily and adore!
Super quality and finely made the key is engraved in acanthus leaves on the body of the cross and the top features a beautiful pear-shaped suspension ring that is faceted to add extra sparkle and it swivels! There is a steel tube hidden inside that is the watch winder.
We have added a complimentary new gold vermeil chain (18ct gold plated sterling silver) chain for immediate wear or gift giving, you can wear her with your own chain or you might even add her to a gold charm bracelet. A beautiful piece of antique devotional jewellery and fully functioning should you have a pocket watch to wind!
