Keys are part of our history, our mythology and our most wonderful works of literature. For centuries they have unlocked more that doorways and secret passages. Keys have always unlocked stories. After all, isn't that what is behind every door… A unique story?  It was this magical nature of keys that has always fascinated us. So we always knew we wanted keys to be a part of our story telling jewelry collection. Over the years, Monica would come across trays of pocketwatch keys at flea markets and antique fairs she visited. The hundred plus year old gold and silver keys were once an essential for anyone carrying a pocketwatch at the turn of the century as they were used to wind those pocketwatches. With that inspiration, we created our pocketwatch key collection, offering them as both necklaces and charms. Available in 18k gold, sterling silver, or a combination of both metals, the keys are the perfect accessory to other fine jewelry styles in our collection. Our larger keys are perfect when worn long, as they can be a statement piece on their own or a perfect pairing to a long charm or custom locket necklace. The petite keys are best worn short, on one of our adjustable chains so they can create the perfect short layer with other charm, slim locket, and diamond critter . Some of our petite keys have been combined with our most popular charm designs, like the Carpe Diem or Crescent moon motifs, allowing those pocketwatch key styles to tell an even more unique story. We invite you to visit our How to Wear It pages to browse through our favorite styling looks for our pocketwatch key designs. Our MRK Concierges are also available to offer ideas via phone, chat or email. Please reach out to us at concirge@monicarichkosann.com.
