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 rectangular-shaped key, engraved with a flower on one side, and one hexagonal-shaped key, engraved with a striped border.
