Repurposed Vintage Key Charm Necklaces, Upcycled Jewelry
I love using found objects in my jewelry, using antique and vintage keys are perfect accents for long necklaces, pendants and statement necklaces. I use REAL keys, not the mass produced charms you can buy at the bead store, these are from my collection and some even from my Dad’s collection! Something about an old key or vintage jewelry has a “feel” or a story to tell. Plus I love the challenge of making something stylish and fun for you to wear today!

Beautiful and romantic way to repurpose something. I love the vintage look and feel, and the fact that they are truly one of a kind gift items.
Caro, Thanks so much for the nice compliment 🙂
I would love a smaller bunch of keys instead of the regular sizes. It looks cool and trendy to upcycle items you can use.
I love small keys, the are so much harder to find 🙂
Who knew that recycled keys would make lovely jewelry! I love the necklaces, they are definitely a stunner and they’re easy to match with any outfit as well!
Thanks Elizabeth, they do go with everything! 🙂
I like the first two the most. It really stands out and looks very unique.

This concept is so nice, I have a lot of keys that are left unused.
