PROVENANCE & COLLECTOR NOTE: A rare fragment of industrial history reimagined as a piece of architectural jewelry. This authentic antique key, cast for the Corning Cabinet Co. in Connecticut and marked "T80," has been transformed into a bold, symbolic pendant. Suspended from a modern sterling silver chain, it bridges the gap between the utilitarian past and contemporary elegance. It is a soulful piece for the collector who values heritage, secrets, and the weight of history.
