Personally I like the first key (the small one), but there's no bad option! DBTY is also a great choice.

I own the first two you posted (the open heart and the modern key) and they are my most-often worn everyday necklaces! I have the open heart in rose gold though, so I alternate those two depending on what other jewelry I'm wearing. IMHO either one make really nice everyday necklaces, so I think it's just a matter of personal preference. I also have contemplated putting the initial pendant on my wishlist. I agree with others who've mentioned the smile necklace as making a great basic as well...I have the mini with diamonds, which I wear layered with other pieces, but I have the regular sized (medium??) yellow gold on my wishlist right now...it's stunning in person...just so simple and elegant! If you're like me and don't live anywhere near a Tiffany store, it can be really hard to judge scale and the delicateness of some of the items just from the photos on the website. For example, the modern key you posted didn't catch my attention on the website, but when I saw it in person on a trip to Chicago last winter I fell in love with its simplicity and daintiness, and the way it paired with other pieces I own. Good luck deciding...I think all of your choices are lovely!

I have worn my OH necklace every day since I got it almost 2 years ago. Earlier this year I added a DBTY to it and now wear both. I also have a key, but I have that on a longer chain and don't wear it all the time. I'm glad I have it, but it's larger and not something I'd wear 24/7. When I wear the key, I usually remove the DBTY necklace.
Do they all have the same chain?
I’ve been wearing an open heart as my every day necklace for the past 3 years and I HATE the chain!
It always gets caught in my hair, rips so much of it out and every few days I need to take the necklace off and remove all the tangled hairs with a set of tweezers. So annoying!
My previous T&Co every day necklace was not like this.
If you can get a different chain, I’d recommend doing that.
As for which pendant- I like the initial.
I was going to suggest a different chain, too! I find that box chains catch less in my hair and are very durable and don’t tangle easily. Pretty much every daily type necklace I wear has this style chain. The thinner ones look more delicate. The rope chains are also good but you need a thicker one so it tangles less. I have one necklace where the chain is called a curb chain and it is a little more utilitarian but it has never caught in my hair!
Definitely the open heart, but size small (16mm) if possible, as the mini is super tiny and the heart shape isn't very prominent.
I have several yellow gold Tiffany necklaces and I wear my gold (knot) key the most so my vote is for that piece.
1. I love both keys - I have the plain atlas key in silver (early gift from my partner) and it's so special. Recognisable as Tiffs too without being RTT.
2. The smile necklaces (I'd recommend the mini or medium size rather than the largest) are great modern options. I have the medium and it really lifts up any outfit.
3. Paloma graffitti X pendant - one of my faves and my wedding day gift (something blue)

Update: I went with the initial! I love it. Thanks for all the input.
Hi all,
After been following the tiffany threads for a while, this is my first post. I am also looking for an everyday gold necklace.
I want a necklace rather than a pendant.
I am considering the tiffany T smile. Now there are 4 sizes,
1) the mini,
2)the small (https://be.tiffany.com/jewelry/necklaces-pendants/tiffany-t-smile-pendant-35189459/)
3)the (used to be) large: https://be.tiffany.com/jewelry/necklaces-pendants/tiffany-t-smile-pendant-33637179/
4) the very large one.
I hesitate between the 2) and 3). I like better the 3 as I wish the necklace to be noticeable, but I wonder if it would look nice with V-necks as it is a bit "horizontal"...
The other necklace I like, it's a pendant, the paloma picasso olive leaf: https://be.tiffany.com/jewelry/necklaces-pendants/paloma-picasso-olive-leaf-pendant-GRP11486/. Votes for the paloma: I like the pattern, it's is recognisable tiffany, fakes T smile are sold in etsy. I Votes against: it is stronger piece and I wonder if I will still love it in 5 years, it may be less chic than the t-smile.
I'd like to hear your thoughts!
I just got this sparkly Tiffany beauty (for a steal) on FP to replace my cheap everyday necklace for my 30th.....and im obsessed!
I dont think Id shower in it though, because of the bling.
