A fabulous addition for anyone who adores the unique charm of antique craftsmanship, we have this early Victorian circa 1840, 9ct gold cased bloodstone and amethyst watch key fob pendant.
Crafted from solid 9ct gold, with steel internals for added strength and usability this fabulous Antique piece flaunts a unique shield design, with an ornately etched edging, framing a lovely piece of bloodstone to one side, and a vibrant and interesting Amethyst stone to the reverse. The elegantly shaped loop at the top of the watch key functions well as a bale for this piece to be worn as a pendant on a neck chain.
