This is a very unusual and eye catching piece ! This auction page has "Make Offer"
I bought this with a collection of mining samples and was happy to get such and unusual and stylish piece. It came to me all together as you see it and I did not want to break it up, so I am passing it on to those who can appreciate it,
Someone, a long time ago ...took in a solid 14k Waltham pocket watch and a lot of natural nuggets to a jeweler and had the case covered in what looks to me to be natural gold nuggets front and back.
They also had a custom watch chain made with 21 nuggets (some have a little quarts in them !) a t-bar that is a fist.
The mourning locket is marked 10 plate weight estimated 4g
A good amount of the gold weight is natural nugget Gold / the actual watch case itself is 14k. The chain is nugget and high carat to match the piece.
The watch is not running at this time and all condition is shown in pictures
