A sleek and shimmering oxidized sterling silver chain with a sumptuous antique key that has a 14k gold bale and a gold wash solid sterling silver body crusted in garnets and seed pearls. Primitive locks and keys have been used for thousands of years, beginning with the ancients Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Over time, the key came to symbolize more than protection of personal property. A key grants access to something beyond a closed door – a tool to symbolically unlock knowledge, power, and deeper spiritual understanding, and even to connect with the afterlife. By the era of the Victorians, locks and keys were important symbols of love and commitment - a gift given to symbolically bond the wearer's heart.
