Not your average watch key — this one is larger than many, with an eye-catching ornate gold cartouche set with a lozenge of translucent carnelian.

The carnelian is unengraved, butterscotch-y, beveled, and smooth to the touch.

The key is suspended from a deliciously fancy large swivel bail.

We would love to see this paired with a special seal fob, on a long period chain.

Unmarked.
