My anniversary is later this month, and I've been looking for my gift... isn't that romantic! Lol! I would like a piece from Tiffany's and I really like the Key collection. As much as I would love gold and diamonds, we can't afford that right now, so I'm looking at the silver keys. I'm petite, 5'2",thin, and 32. I don't think that I want a mini key, as I am not really fond of dainty jewelry. I don't want something so big, that it looks comical either. Since it's my anniversary, I want something that I'll really treasure for a long time. I really like the oval link chain and I think I may want a key in the 2 inch range. I think that narrows it down to the large heart key and the vintage oval key. I think I want to wear it longer (at least 18 inches, but maybe even longer) What do you think? Which key and what length chain? (There is a possibility that I may get to go to Tiffany's on our short Anniversary trip, but I would really like to have an idea before I go.)

Also, since it's for my anniversary, do you think something else from Tiffany's would be better? I'm fully open to suggestions! Thanks!
 
Hmmm, as I'm basically you (petite, thin/average weight, 5'1 1/2'') I would maybe go with something a little smaller. Based on pictures I've seen, the 2-2.5 inch keys seem kind of big for women of our size. Then again, that's just my opinion. Perhaps one of the 1.5's? I don't know how much you want to spend, but there are some really lovely ones around that size.
 
Thanks for your suggestions! I really have to stay in the silver price range or possibly the gold small oval key. The mini 1 inch keys just seem so tiny to me in pictures. Now, I'm also thinking about the small oval with the 24 inch oval link chain in silver or the gold small oval with a chain I already have. Leaning towards the silver.... I really want to be able to wear it long, but not have it disappear. I guess that's why I was leaning towards a 2 inch. How does the small oval look on a longer chain? Anyone? Thanks again!!!!
 
I think the long chain stay looks really good. I like the look of the vintage key but since it's your anniversary you might want to go with the heart style. Also if you'll be wearing it long then the 2" size won't be too big at all.
 
My stepson just gave his girlfriend a silver key. It is the silver one with the heart top and small diamond in the heart. I think it is classified as a mini and it doesn't seem too small at all.
 
Thanks so much for all the advice! I love the crown key, but I think it would be a bit big. It's gorgeous though!! I love the detail. I've had too much time on my hands, and I was bored with a sick 2 year old, so I sketched up the different size keys. I held them up to get an idea of how they would look. I'm sure I don't want the mini heart keys. I have plenty of smaller pendants, and I just don't wear them. I think I might wear them if I can layer them with a bigger key though. I'm still trying to decide between the small oval, vintage oval, and the large heart. I'm sorta leaning toward the small oval. I'm not normally a "heart" kinda girl, but I like the detail and romantic idea of the heart key. Not sure .....
 
Yeah, I don't usually mix metals either, but I didn't see rose gold chains listed. I don't have much rose gold, but I love it! I have a rose gold ring that I put on a silver chain just to test, and it didn't look right. I may just go with the silver, probably would go with more of my wardrobe. I still can't decide on which key....
Would the small oval key look too small on the oval link chain? I love the look of the oval link, but wonder if it needs at least a 2 inch key...
Thanks for the opinions. I really appreciate it!
