A curious little antique watch key dating to the Victorian era, a central core of steel (for strength when used to turn the winder) encased in 9ct yellow gold machine 'Guilloche' engraved with a beautifully fine and precise sunburst design which was considered the height of elegance. Perfect as a unique and interesting charm, the key holds great symbolism. 

The whole measures 3.5cm, the decorative element 1cm across.
