the smaller silver key is from my mom, and I've had it for over a decade now. I love key pendants. n__n my boyfriend got me the heart key, but if he hadn't gotten it I would've myself (eventually). if you like something, get it! I really don't think it's weird to get heart jewelry for yourself. I would PREFER to get it as a gift since there's more meaning, but either way it's still a nice little piece.
it's harder taking a photo of myself wearing the thing, so for that you'll have to make do with a webcam photo.

as you can see, quite tiny, but that's how I like it! the chain is not from tiffany's, but an old one I've always worn my other silver key around.
The chain is made out of platinum, so lengthening/shortening of any gold or platinum metals is free of charge. I could have even lengthened it to 18" for free, but I felt 18" would have been too long for this type of necklace. It is very dbty-ish and has a bunch of sparkle to it.
I think the charm that dangles might get shift a lot from side to side whereas the ones that are hooked on both sides have less of a tendency to do so and stay pretty much still.
I have the large vintage key in sterling silver and the rose gold oval key. Here is my heart layered with the keys:

Some stores will do it complimentary. You need to build a relationship with a sales associate. The standard price however is $40 for the first inch and $10 each additional. If you request it, they may do it for free. You need to ask for it though.
what does DBTY stand for?![]()
How long is the chain for your keys? The heart pendant's chain doesn't really look like it is 17''! Whatever necklace I decide on, I think I would prefer longer...like sitting right above the cleavage, kind of. (not that i want to draw attention to anything - believe me!)![]()
and thank-YOU so much for giving me more opportunities to show off my key!BEAUTIFUL! I love how you put it on the little mouse (?). Looks great on him/her. Also looks great on youThank-you so much for the photos!
Yeah because the chain rides up and the heart falls at the hollow of my neck. the DBTY style necklaces are supposed to be worn this way so there's a glitter of diamond at the neck. Since the pendant is so tiny, it wouldn't make sense for the chain to be too long!!!
The keys are on an 18" chain I believe or maybe even 20" . . . I forgot haha.

That makes sense... Maybe the triple heart is not for me then. Do you think any of the other ones I picked are DBTY style? Or can they be worn longer? :wondering
All of the pendants you choose are quite small and will probably look better on an 18" chain or shorter. If you want it to stand out on a longer chain, I'd choose the key.
Thanks for all the help! I will head into a store soon to try on!
