Imo definitely the rose gold oval key or the ring - I think the RG key would look stunning layered with the lock. Really pretty and chic. You could always save the pandora silver/YG bracelet and YG ring for days when you want to wear the link necklace or other YG jewellery? Let us know what you decide!
a rose gold key is a great choice. I layer one with a silver & 18k rose gold vintage lock. It looks so pretty. The keys look nice alone or layered.

Winnie, could you please take a pic so I can see for size and stuff? I would appreciate it SO much.
After dithering on buying one for so long, I finally decided to take the plunge a few days ago and buy the mini bean pendant in rose gold. Originally I was going to buy it in yellow gold but as over 90% of my jewellery is yellow gold I fancied a change and the bean looks so pretty in this colour and the rose is very flattering on my warm-toned complexion. However, right now I'm wondering whether I got the best value for money as I also tried on the rose gold oval key when I was in Tiffany's with the oval link chain and it looked GORGEOUS. I had a tough time deciding between the two but opted for the bean in the end as I thought it would go with more stuff (esp for work) and also looked very pretty. The SA also seemed to think the bean would be more versatile and was really complimentary about the bean (although it was more expensive than the key/standard chain so maybe that's why 
) I now wonder whether I should have got the key as it seems like a lot more gold for my money and the chain would have been 18" since I had to buy it separately and could choose, which is the length I normally go for with pendants. Having said that the bean really suits a 16" chain, at least on me, which was a surprise.
What do you guys think? I know this will depend on people's taste and what they prefer but do you think the bean is 'worth' the money? (if any Tiffany's pieces can be said to be worth the money, as I realise I am largely paying for the brand name). I spent £460 in UK sterling which is around 700 US dollars. I definitely want a rose gold piece. If I swapped the bean it would be for the rose gold oval key either with the oval link chain or a standard rose gold Tiffany's chain which might be more versatile for combining with other pendants.

Well, there have been complaints that the rose color fades and does not appear to be restored to it's original rose color, and that alone would dissuade me. Unless it turning yellowish over time is ok. Which would you wear MORE. I don't find the key AS versatile but if you will wear it then it's worth it.
Hmm, if that's true about the rose gold in my case then I shouldn't really go for the key in that metal either
I so hope that doesn't happen, it has a lovely rosy glow and lustre to it at the moment. I love yellow gold jewellery but I would be gutted if this turned yellow. I agree about the key not being as versatile which is what put me off in the first place - I know I would get lots of use out of it with casual outfits but at work (I work for a very corporate American company) I can't see it working. I also have the yellow gold diamond key charm on a 24" chain so have got some sort of a key already, plus could buy just the oval key in yellow gold at a later stage and save myself the cost of a chain that way. The bean would look good for both work and casual which is a big pro and it does seem to go with pretty much everything. Maybe the answer is I should keep my bean but switch it to yellow gold instead! I just love the rose gold colour though...
I thought my rose gold lock faded, but I went back to the Tiffany counter with my lock and held it up next to a brand new one, and the color has never changed.... It's just more subtle than other rose golds. I think that's good because it mixes well with Yellow gold then.
I would have voted to exchange the bean for the key, then read that you already have a key in yg. In this case I would stick to the rg bean! A different length and color from your usual pieces and would look great with both casual and working clothes 
We might become rose gold bean sisters! I was wondering... Why would you switch the bean for a rose gold key? Which key were you thinking about and do you have a link to it?
