Description
Made especially for the lovely artist ' 's Totems & Mysterious Objects contest, this necklace is a collection of my favourite objects: keys.Keys are the quintessential visual representation of mystery; an object as a question. Each of the eleven keys on this necklace is as different as the questions it signifies.
The keys hang from a handformed chain of pearl links. Pearls symbolize transformation; what was before and what is to come. The known past and the unknown future. They also symbolize purity, but what kind of purity? And what does purity mean? Another question, another key on the necklace.

[Edit: This is a different title than I've named this very piece elsewhere, but this title is more fitting to the contest.]

This symbolism is very effective, it stuck me even before I read the title and intent.
