One of the hippest jewelry trends to show up this year, I am talking about the key necklace. Sorry for the title pun, I couldn’t resist. Originating from the gorgeous Tiffany & co. Tiffany key collection, this look has been seen on celebrities and civilians alike. Two such celebrities being Taylor Momsen from Gossip girl and Jennifer Aniston. Taylor’s a hot young thing and Jennifer is a sophisticated style icon proving that the key necklace is hip but classy and can be pulled off no matter what age. Forever 21 and Tiffany co. have two different and fabulous interpretations of this trend. The Tiffany Co. collection has more streamlined, classic cuts and a much higher price range ($100 to $15,000). They also have more street cred since they are of course made of precious metals and gem stones. Forever 21 uses clusters of lockets, charms, and keys to make a more casual, young look that ranges from $4.80 to $5.80. What I love about this look is how versatile it is. You can wear a key pendant with an evening dress for a sultry, dressed up look and also wear it with your work or day clothes to add some glam. Last of all, there is no denying the romance of these necklaces. Forget a ring, if my boyfriend gave me this and said “You hold the Key to my heart” I would swoon and beg him to marry me. Of course the odds of this happening are verrrry slim, so I will have to work on unlocking that fantasy. Last pun, I swear. So key necklaces, love it, hate it?
