A very unusual antique Georgian 'ratchet' pocket watch key made in buttery 18ct gold at the top with a steel winder at the bottom. This tiny adorable gold key has a tube collar in the centre along with a gold suspension ring that is soldered safely closed.
Perfect to add to a charm bracelet or pair with a chain and wear as a unique pendant. Note the chain shown is not included. This unique gold trifle is all you could want from a petite piece of antique jewellery, it would make a novel gift for a 21st birthday (key to the door) or a romantic love token (key to my heart), an absolute keeper!
