Miniature fobs

Antique 19th century gold cased watch key A delightful antique watch key decorated with a chased gold swirl pattern to the sides. Set with a nice square cut chalcedony to one side, and a foiled rock crystal to the other. The foiling on this has deteriorated with age, likely a bit of water damage. This has only given the stone greater depth and we just love how it looks! The bail swivels, as the piece was made to wind a watch. The gold casing is very buttery and beautiful; it's likely it sits over a core of base metal which was done to give the item strength. It measures around 3.06cm in length and 1.05cm at widest. It likely made in the Victorian era. Hallmarked: no Tested 15ct gold cased Gross weight: 1.8g Condition: foiling to rock crystal has deteriorated; very good otherwise This item is part of our miniature fobs collection
