Woah, I would never have guessed that locks might become such beautiful jewelry :) the silver and golden chains go together perfectly! One thing though - aren't the lock earrings too heavy for your ears?

[Mark Montano]

Hey Daniel, these were pretty small and quite light.

Awesome! Gold and silver colours together! So, who wears the key earrings and pendant? ;-)

[Mark Montano]

That would be my assistant.

Nice designs. I'm glad to see you used a separate closure for fastening the neck chain together. Using the lock itself as a fastener is potentially very dangerous and would create a real danger of choking or hanging if the chain gets caught on something.

I never thought of that! Great point.
