Have you decided yet? I really want a Tiffany key and I can't decide, either. Like you, I am short and petite. My favourite is the oval key, but I'm afraid that 2.5 inches will be too big. I am thinking either the sterling silver mini oval (which I believe is 1.25 inches) on the 18 inch chain or the large oval key on a longer oval link chain. I really love the oval link chain, but I'm not sure if the mini would look right on it.
^^^^^^^^
Haven't decided yet.... I really like the oval link chain too! I think that makes the Tiffany keys stand out from all the knock-offs I keep seeing online. Also trying to decide if it's worth it to get a Tiffany key or if it's too trendy. I have been reading threads about the quality of Tiffany going downhill. Is it worth it to get a Tiffany piece, especially silver, just because it's "Tiffany's" ?
I think that for me, the 2 1/2 inch key would be too big, so it's between the 1 1/4 and 2 inch. I wish there was a lower priced 1 1/2. That would probably be the most versatile size for us petite ladies!!! I would love to see a picture of the small oval key on an oval link chain, in case someone has that combination. I would also love to see the vintage oval and the 2 inch heart key on a longer chain. I couldn't find action pictures of either one.....
I keep thinking that if I get one, I should wait and go to Tiffany's, just for the experience. I'm just not sure if we will get to go, and I'm not sure if they will have everything in stock. I don't want to get pressured into something I don't want. I also don't want ridicule for not buying a higher priced item. Maybe I should order online, and test them out at home.
Thanks for all the advice from everyone! I really appreciate it! I'm not close to a Tiffany's store, and I don't see much Tiffany's jewelry on ladies in my area (Northern Indiana/Southern Michigan) It helps to hear from those of you that have Tiffany's experience

If you go to a large enough Tiffany's, you should be able to find the pieces you want. The keys appear to be very popular, so I don't think you'll have a problem getting to see the ones you're interested in in person.
This may be a very odd question, but is there some connection between the popularity of Key necklaces, and the movie "Twilight"? I've been looking online, and it seems that there is. I have not read the books or seen the movie. Anyone know for sure? Not to offend anyone, but I am not a fan, and don't want my anniversary present to be associated with vampires....
Feel free to laugh at me

hrm that is an interesting question. I read the Twilight books (not embarassed either
) and as far as I can remember there were no significant keys in either the movie or book...but it's been a while since I read them. What made you think there was a connection? The keys collection was released somewhat around the same time as the Twilight movie but that's all I can think of that they would have in common.Thanks for replying to the late night ramblings of my crazy self! I didn't think anyone would! LOL! (I actually tried to delete it later, because I felt silly) Thanks SO much though!!!
I've been sick and stuck in the house for over a week, and have had far too much time on my hands to sit around and surf. I kept googling key necklaces to see what different sorts came up. Several references came up to Twilight and referred to the main Character, Bella, as wearing a key necklace and a lock bracelet. I asked, since I haven't read the series or watched the movie. I thought there might be a reason that key necklaces were so popular, and just wondered what it was. Since I want the necklace for my anniversary, I just want to make sure I get the right thing. I figured that Tiffany wouldn't make them because of a movie, but when you want business, who knows? lol
Thanks again!!!

I also luv the Tiffany Keys (diamond) but in my opinion they are way too expensive so I was looking at other online stores that I like and one in particular had some goregous keys at reasonable prices, DH ordered this one for me

they also have smaller ones that are 18kt white gold and diamonds for around $500... good luck!

I loooooooooove all your keys girls!!!
Hubby got me the Tiffany WG Floral Diamond Pendant for my birthday.
PRETTY!!!! I love the length of your chain, is it 36in?
Yesterday was my birthday and I went into the new concept Tiffany's that they opened up literally 5 minutes away from my home "just to look" and walked out with this. I love it and was glad to be convinced (mostly by Ahertz) into trusting the T&Co name again. So here it is my mini 18k heart key (1" long) on an 18" chain.
As a sidenote, if you live in the Seattle area and like Tiffany's you should definately check out this store because it's very different from every Tiffany's I've seen. Most of the pieces are in displays which are along all the walls with a few in the middle of the store. Underneath the displays are drawers that you are encouraged to open that have the jewelry right there for you to look at and pick up without having to ask a SA to go behind a counter to get (there actually are no counters for them to stand behind). I opened up a drawer that had my key, the 18k crown key with diamonds ($1500), and several others in that price range. I definately worked with a SA through the whole process but it was a very different experience. There also isn't the usual intimidating man in a suit at the door at this location. Their insurance costs must be insane but it really is a nice concept.

Beautiful choice!
I think the idea of the store is very cool; the hidden security has to be terrific!
