(¸.·´ ♥ Imagine the stories these keys have told through the pages of time . . .
Now a new story can begin . . . . .
Old forgotten keys are always intriguing . . . and a little mysterious.
What secrets have they guarded through out the years?
This one has now been refashioned into a unique upcycled piece of jewelry.
What a beautiful way to save the planet - be smart as well as stylish! ♡
♥ DESCRIPTION:
This nostalgic necklace features an old silver key that is beautifully timeworn and tarnished. It's been gently cleaned while leaving the original patina intact.
It's paired up with a vintage Royal typewriter function key in black with the word "LOCK" in a simple sans-serif font in tan.
One of my signature "Salvaged Style" designs that will add vintage charm to any wardrobe.
It also makes a great eco-friendly gift. :-)
♥ A precious little piece of the past to be cherished for years to come. ♥
♥ MEASUREMENTS:
These timeless treasures dangle together on an 18" antique silver textured cable chain which closes securely with a lobster clasp.
The typewriter key measures 15mm across, and the pendant drop measures approx. 2" long.
If you would prefer a different length of chain, please convo me prior to purchase.
It will arrive prettily packaged and ready for giving, or as a treat for yourself.
* Tip: Wear this necklace with other charming pieces for a romantic layered look. :-)
♪ NOTE:
Salvaged keys are OLD. Due to their age, vintage pieces have old patina and imperfections, including age spots, scratches, discoloration, and varying finishes due to the passage of time and usage - this just adds to their beauty and is what makes them unique.
