My DH just bought me my dream Tiffany Key... the Fleur de Lis! It is the pendant in the first picture as well as on the model on the shorter chain. I've been going through an extraordinarily tough time recently and he wanted to cheer me up. We picked it out together but I'm having some second thoughts... it's my first major piece of fashion jewelry (the only other jewelry I wear is my e-ring/wedding ring and simple diamond studs) so I want to make sure I pick one I'd wear a lot as well as can wear forever (i.e. not just a passing trend).
I currently have it on the thin 18" platinum chain, but I'm wondering if that's an awkward length. I've seen different keys on other TPFers in this length and it looks fantastic, but somehow with the diamonds I'm not sure if it's quite right. The model has it on the 16" and it looks really good (albeit more formal). I'm also wondering whether it would look better on a much longer chain - 20 or 24" (like the longer length on the model) so that it looks more casual. What do you think?
My other dilemma is that I also had the choice of getting the Crown Key & the smaller Vintage Oval Key instead of the Fleur de Lis (shown together in the last picture), as the overall price is comparable. I love the look and it looks more casual so I'd probably wear it more. With the two keys I also have more flexibility (I could wear them individually). I would probably get this on the thicker white gold link chain and wear them on the same chain.
In the end I selected the Fleur de Lis because it is the "ultimate" key and this is what I'd still want 5, 10 years from now, but maybe this is thinking way too hard about it?
What do you think? Any opinions would be much appreciated - thank you very much!

IMHO, it's probably not something that will be "in" forever. If you love it, then it doesn't matter whether it's trendy or not.
Thanks ladies... I guess it really is trendier than I thought. *Sigh* I normally would never pay so much for something like this, but I don't know what it is about these particular pieces - I'm just loving them! My DH agrees with you and says that if I love it I shouldn't worry so much about the "forever" - that I should enjoy it as much as I can and store it away or pass it down later on when the time comes.
That having been said, I thought it over and definitely want to keep the key (or keys) rather than buying something else. Which look do you think works better - the one vs. the two (keeping in mind they're different keys), and on which length/type of chain? I'm 30 if that helps at all...
Thanks again!
