I have a ss tiffany key charm, and EVERYONE keeps saying, "oh whats that key to?" im just like, "uh.....its just a key". Do people ask you this question too? how do you respond?

^Lol.
But ugh, those questions are annoying...I frequently wear my Juicy Couture charms one at a time on a necklace. The one that gets the most questions is the popcorn box!
I've had SO many people ask me, "So what's the significance of popcorn?"
And I can't think of anything else to say but, "I just thought it was cute..."

haha ya i get this too, i have the large oval key, I tell people its the key to my future...usually with a raised eyebrow

sorry for the double post....but why does jewellery have to mean something? i would say probably 3/4 of my jewellery I bought just because its pretty not for significance.....

I'm with you! I buy something because I like it, not because it does something or has a significant meaning to me!

I agree - some stuff is just cute, kitchy, and fun! Or maybe a loved one gave it to you and it reminds you of them. I wear a ring with an animal on it every day and I sometimes get the sarcastic, "Is that your favorite animal or something?" I just brush it off and say it was a gift from someone special.

Agree with the rest of the comments...jewelry is about us liking it not necesarily having a meaning to it...

I always say "it's the key to my heart" since my kids got it for me for Mother's Day. But I agree, it's an annoying question.

See people who have commented on mine seem to either refer to it as "the key to my heart" or they assume it was for my 21st birthday (it's traditional to give a key for 21st birthdays where I'm from, I don't know about elsewhere!).

The key to the question asker's mouth to make them shut up perhaps?

Junkenpo · May 18th, 2009, 09:16 PM

^^that's neat!

Y'know... it's just me, but I don't think I'd ask "what's it for?" Unless it were a friend of mine & i thought it might be xomething special because it's new.... it's just jewelry, right?

keys are too practical and symbolic to be "just" a key, i guess for some.

sab_angel · May 18th, 2009, 09:43 PM

I recieved my key as a present from my SO, therefore i see it as a symbol of our love!

side note, i dont really get asked what my key is for, i simply receive complements!

cocobella · May 19th, 2009, 12:43 AM

Hahah that's so funny..everybody (mostly guys) ask me the same question...I usually answer with "it's the key to my heart"...It is getting annoying though :)
