Nancsi - Exoskeleton - Skeleton Key Woven Silver Necklace

Vintage Skeleton Keys are little lost secrets.  They're artifacts from a life we cannot see into, but a life we can imagine. It's what makes skeleton keys so intriguing and enduring. I've been obsessed with them since I was a little girl and my Grandmother first showed me her ring of skeleton keys. One skeleton key unlocked her cedar wardrobe, where garments, coats and hats, too fancy for a regular old closet resided. 

This Woven Silver Pendant with Sterling Silver Oval link chain is 29" and features two sealed patinated, authentic vintage Skeleton Keys. This Exoskeleton style is one of my original Woven Pieces and I still love them today. I've used Fine Silver (99.9% pure) Wire to weave the keys together. The keys are right around 2 3/8" long. The pendant is 1 1/8" across the woven portion and 1 3/4" at the top. Included are two yellow sapphires as transitions from the Pendant to the Sterling Silver Chain.

All Pieces are hand woven and bench made by me, Margaret Aden, in my Arizona Studio. Custom Lengths are available, you can FB Messenger me in the bottom right hand corner of every page!
