This winged key necklace is a wonderful, simple piece of steampunk jewelry.
The vintage skeleton key has darkened with age and shows a bit of softness. The bit of rust has been carefully scrubbed away but you can see how time has affected the steel, leaving it slightly pitted and worn. A set of delicate wings flank the shaft of the key, framing it in silvery detail. I've kept the design simple. It has a few tiny gears taken from vintage pocket watches and old wind up wrist watches. There are 3 gears at the top - but I like the jagged edged gear near the bottom. Beside that gear you'll see a tiny jewel taken from a vintage wrist watch with a tiny "ruby" in it. Its very, very small! The key itself is 7cm long - about 2.75inches. Still, despite its length it is quite light. I managed to put it up on etsy this weekend, finally. I'm so behind these days. its over at [link] |

I had to hang a key from a necklace myself recently, and it having a similar "handle" I did something similar with jump rings to two points on the chain it hung from.
Mind you, It wasn't nearly so fancy as what you have here.

I've got some keys with tops that make it very difficult to get to hang correctly. I'm thinking of trying to solder them - but the materials are difficult. oh well.. i'll figure something out.
i would love to see your design.
