So my birthday is coming up and after much hmmming and hawwing I decided I want to get the tiffany's keys collection. My idea was to purchase 3 keys each in a different metal. For eg. THe heart key mini in rose gold with 18" chain...The quatrefoil or vintage oval in gold with either 20/24 " chain and either a SS or Plat( depending on DH's budget/ generousity) with either a 24/36" chain. MY question is do you think this look will work or be too OTT. I love the keys collection and am drooling everyday and really want more than one and this was the best idea I came up with to get a variety? Please let me know what you think?

That sounds like it would be a lot going on if you wore them all at one time. Personally, for the $$ that would cost, I would rather get one of the keys with diamonds. But, if you would wear them separately and not together, it would be fun to have a variety!

I would get 2 diff sizes/styles of the same color & put them on one chain. I have seen them displayed like this at tiffany's. What would look really good in WG would be one plainer key & one more ornate key,imo.

All of the above sound like really good ideas, I kind of like the idea of getting a diamond one for the price though.

I think two different metals would be the maximum I would go in terms of combinations. I'd either go with two sterling silver ones of two different sizes and of different styles, or one gold and one silver (or white gold if you're up for spending that much hehe), probably also of different sizes, though I'm trying to decide on that one myself...

Popped by Tiffanys yesterday and saw them displayed like that- I think I'm in love!

VuittonsLover · Oct 9th, 2009, 08:00 PM

honestly.. i think 3 would be over kill.

maybe on the same chain.. but 3 different chains and links.. reminds me of

me and my friends wearing too much gold in the 80s.

I like the look of mixed metals and layering chains, so I like the idea. I am wearing the titanium key on a 20" ball chain that I sometimes layer with my Lagos Key on a 36" in chain in sterling silver. It looks great together and I've gotten lots of compliments on it this week.

BagsAreMyBabies · Oct 9th, 2009, 08:16 PM

Oh, but I also think it would look great with all three on a longer 36" chain!

CrystalDreams · Oct 9th, 2009, 09:29 PM

Opps just realised you were going to layer them- I meant two on the same chain :)

Either way, please post pics once you get them! I'd love to see how you're wearing them.. I'm having such a hard time choosing two!

I have two keys, one large oval key on the oval link SS chain on a 30 inch chain and a small oval rose gold key on a 18 inch rose gold chain, I personally think it looks too much with both keys, but i have layered my rose gold key with my yellow gold dbty single pendant.

My collection has now grown to 4 keys.

I started with the large WG quadrafoil and the med WG heart, I wore them both on a WG chain
Then, I decided I needed a YG key, so I choose a large heart and a YG gold chain.
I couldn't wear them all together, so I switched them back and forth.

Then, the RG keys came out, I bought the small RG heart.

I've been wearing the 3 hearts together - the lg YG, med WG, and the sm RG- all on the same chain.
I think it they work because they're all the same theme.

Wow your collection sounds nice. I'd love to see a picture of it that way!

DreamingBeauty · Oct 12th, 2009, 09:51 PM

Personally I would not do tricolor, I think two tone gold/silver looks nice but the tricolor can look kind of cheap IMO. If you like rose gold, just do that alone.

Bethc · Oct 14th, 2009, 03:06 PM

Here's a pic of my 3, I get a lot of compliments about them all together.
