Unlocking a Dream of Flight

Description

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]
