I thought about doing that but didn't know if it would look good. I'm trying to decide on what chain to get for my lock. When I was playing with my jewelry I used my 18" bead chain pulled closer to my neck to see if I like my lock and key layered together. I do like the look. I guess since my key is on a 20" oval link chain that I need a 16" chain for my lock to make it look good. I'm just torn between getting the rectangular round link chain, another oval link chain or the Peretti pendant chain. The Peretti pendant chain links are slightly larger than the small pendant chain. Decisions, decisions??
