I love the nostalgia of looking at black and white family photos and must admit to having lost hours reading old family letters and postcards, diary entries and hearing stories of who was who, where they were living and what they did with their lives.  This was the inspiration for this new collection.

My Pocket Key is the same as one of the charms on a bracelet which I have inherited.  Firstly I find a key so tactile.  I often have my keys loose in a deep pocket and I love the feel of the smooth round top of them and the squarer edges of the actual unlocking pieces.  Secondly keys have the most wonderful symbolism.  They are a sign of hope, new beginnings and possibilities.  Perhaps they are the new front door to a much dreamed about first home, perhaps they unlock a special garden gate (I'm remembering the Secret Garden!)  Keys also represent personal growth, change and evolution, they are a symbol of protection, strength and power and sometimes we all need a little more of that in our lives!  

I have made this key necklace so that they are as light as a feather and hang from my curb chains which have a dense but delicate chain which loops in to the almost love heart shape of the top of the key. So if you are looking for a gift for someone who is starting a new period of their life or making a big step in to the unknown, perhaps this silver key necklace is just what they need to remind them that they already hold the key to their success.  Or perhaps someone special to you is getting married and the silver key represents a symbol of love.  

Pearls are a symbol of protection and peace, so I have added a little ivory pearl to this necklace. It hangs from the loop of the key. This necklace would lend itself really well to a wedding present or a 21st birthday present as well as a christening gift.

This necklace comes in a white jewellery box with my logo embossed in gold on the top and tied with ribbon. A care card, thank you card and polishing cloth are included so you can keep your necklace as shiny as when it first arrives! A gift bag can be ordered and a gift message added if you would like the necklace sent directly to the recipient - just add the details when ordering.
