Keyed Up
is a series documenting the use of keys in history.
The Key of Secrets
is the first in the series focusing on the locked diary. A
key is comprised of three different parts, the bow (the
portion of the key that is held as it enters the lock), the
shaft (the portion of the key that enters the lock), and the
bit (the tooth that sticks out alongside the shaft that
opens the lock)
A Peyote stitch
bezel encircles a trillion-shaped CZ, forming the bow of
this beautiful key. CZs set into fine metal settings, pearls
and seed beads complete the embellishing and bail of the
key. Set CZs line up in a channel of Peyote stitch creating
the shaft ending with a Peyote Stitch bezel around a pearl.
The bit completes the look using set CZs and seed beads. The
necklace portion of this design uses a chain making
technique to create an elegant chain for The Key Of Secrets.
The key measures 2.75" long
and 3/4" wide at the widest point. |
