Vintage keys have been quite popular as a motif for the past year. The antique, ornate designs found in old master keys or skull keys make for great design inspiration. VSG first reported this jewelry trend in early 2009. Shortly thereafter Tiffany & Co. came out with their collection of key necklaces which have been quite popular.

Now key jewelry can be found just about everywhere and at every price level. The antique key design is most often found in necklaces, earrings, and on charm bracelets. One thing to note is that key are not the only motif coming out from this trend. Now we are starting to see more decorative key holes. These designs are used primarily in necklaces and brooches.
