Under Lock & Key

I know, I know.  The key motif has been hot for a while and is cooling off now.  But, I think it's important to look outside the box.  The key and lock motif has been a staple throughout history since the dawn of time.  But, like everything, it too has changed over time.

A set of 24k gold monogrammed wedding bands from Holy Harlot. The gold has been hand forged to
resemble ancient Greek jewelry & has the feel of having just been uncovered in an ancient
burial ground.  Personally, I even think this would be fabulous as right hand or thumb rings as well!

Nowadays, we think outside of the traditional definitions.  Locks have taken on more than just the function of securing your property.  They now secure us in our jewels with new shapes and styles.  The key too has grown from it's humble beginings as a way to open its corresponding lock to a representation of love.
