These silver watch keys were originally worn for a practical reason: to wind a pocket watch or a small clock. Today, they make lovely and interesting pendants.
This set consists of two Swedish keys: one depicting an imprint of the Dutch queen Wilhelmina (1880 – 1962) and one cone-shaped key, engraved with a pattern that has gently faded over time.
