Please share pics if you get the chance (if you're comfortable)! I don't think I'll get to a store for another few weeks and have been trying to find real pics of the key online without much luck.
I much prefer the key necklace. Tiffany keys are beautiful! I have the RTT bead bracelet in silver/blue enamel and I wish I could sell it because I just don't like it very much. The quality is good, the style just doesn't sit right with me. I got it when I was 24 and wanted to sample the brand by choosing an entry level piece. Unfortunately it always felt too young for me, even when I first got it.
I will say the gold version is much nicer than the silver version, but I still think that key is much more special.

Here's my own opinion, take it with a grain of salt because the jewelry is ultimately for you!!
You can find a gold ball bead bracelet anywhere, Etsy has many, just without the RTT charm. When I compare Etsy's ball bracelets to Tiffany's, I can't justify spending way more just for the RTT charm. If you really can't decide, maybe start with a really cheap plated/gold-filled one with a heart charm and if you still love that style after a few months that may be the sign you should get one from Tiffany. I also don't think the bracelet is "too young", it's all about how you wear it with your outfits and how you carry yourself.
Regarding the Tiffany key, the design, skill, and quality diamonds are so beautiful I see them as a works of art. I've looked at key necklaces from other brands and the shape/overall silhouette is sometimes too bulky or unbalanced, lacks attention to detail up close, or are highly inspired by real Tiffany keys. I love your pick for the Key because it's just enough diamonds for casual everyday wear but you can also wear it to formal events. I'm biased because I've always wanted one haha.

This is so gorgeous and elegant! I love the way you've layered the two necklaces. Thanks for posting a pic!
Thanks for your input. I agree that the details on Tiffany keys are beautiful. In that regard, they key definitely has more going for it, as the bracelet is much more simple. I hope that when I try them on in store, one of them just gives me that "feeling" and becomes the clear winner.
So I went to the store and sadly wasn't impressed with either the bracelet or necklace for some reason. I ended up with a David Yurman buckle bracelet in gold. Thanks to everyone who chimed in with your thoughts though!
How has this bracelet held up over the years? Did it ever tarnish or fade? Were you able to wear it 24/7?
