Do you think the oval link and the twist detail on the key would be "too much". I tend to gravitate towards super simple pieces( as per my boyfriend I'm boring lol)
My friend had the oval link with a flower key. I thought it looked really nice.
I think you might want a bit longer, or keep shorter, more in the interest of 'bust clearance' than anything else. A 24" chain might make the key itself hang a bit strangely over your bust, IMHO. I wear my large fleur de lis key on a 20" oval link chain, and I get a lot of compliments. I'm afraid to wear it longer, in case it gets bashed around too much!
Hi there,
I have 2 keys (1.25 and 2.5) and I keep them both on a 24 chain. I think they look nicer on a longer chain and I also like that I can put it on or take it off without having to undo the clasp.
I think yours would look nice on a longer chain. Also, if you do decide to get a longer chain, you will have the option of switching between the longer and shorter chain depending on what look you want.
Cheers.

I love how the oval link makes it look so dainty! Is it more fragile than the regular chain?
Just my two cents! It actually feels sturdier to me...even though there are fewer links, the metal on each link is thicker, which makes it seem stronger. I tried compressing the links when I first got it to see if they could get damaged, and I couldn't squeeze them between my thumb and forefinger even with a good amount of pressure, so I think it's a great choice in chain.
To me, the oval link and the venetian link chains are almost the 'most Tiffany', if that makes sense. They're quite unique designs, as opposed to the standard chain, which isn't really noticeably different from other chains beyond the tiny Tiffany tag by the clasp.

Thats great to know! Thanks! I really hope I can get to a Tiffany store soon. I thought of ordering online but I've read too many horror stories here on tpf. :/
Oh wow, there is a definite competition between the fleur de lis and the daisy key. I am leaning more now towards the fleur de lis. I won't be buying it until June though! And summer weather may alter my decision. My boyfriend doesn't have a job, and I didn't expect him to spend all his money on me, so I said he could get me Tiffany gift cards for Xmas, Vday and My bday in June, and by then we will go to the Tiffany store to cash them in together 
When the time comes I will do the reveal, if anyone remembers, lol. Thank you all for your great input! It's still a hard decision, but I will make it when the time comes!
