Repurposed Antique Skeleton Key with Blue Agate Heart

The key to my heart...literally! *wink*

I took an authentic antique skeleton key and gave it a second life by adding a beautiful blue agate doublet heart with soft white markings that remind me of clouds floating across a summer sky. I hand soldered the heart into its setting and attached it to the old key, turning something that once opened a lock into something you can wear. These old skeleton keys are getting harder to find, which makes working with them even more fun. It's a little bit of history, a little bit of romance and a wonderfully unusual gift for someone who appreciates vintage treasures and handmade jewelry. Handmade in my home studio.

Bayou Glass Arts™...some keys open doors, others just steal hearts.

Artisan Handmade Process

My medium is the Tiffany-style stained glass technique, combining glass, gemstones, and other materials using the copper foil method. My metalwork features a blend of tin, silver, copper, and brass, all safe for sensitive skin. Instead of torch soldering, I use a soldering iron, which gives me more flexibility to create a diverse variety of organic designs.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I’m happy to help! Thank you so much for considering my work. ~Contina
