The gilt metal key is a round shaped and set with a domed opaque white stone on one side and a high gloss domed orange red hard stone on the other

The key has a carved shank. Where there should normally be a suspension loop a swivel seal has been added. This has a white stone on one side and a glass backed orange glass stone on the other. 

The key has a steel winding end which is a size 2-3 and is covered with a gilt sleeve.

The key measures 44mm x 15mm x 13mm
