Old doorways and keys appear throughout the artwork of Open Your Doors. After the CD was finished, Anne was inspired to take some of her antique keys that were used in the photos and make necklaces as gifts for herself and a few other people who were instrumental in making the record. The keys were all different and the one-of-a-kind designs seemed fitting tributes to the unique talents and creativity these individuals had shared. Well, the key necklaces were a hit and suddenly it seemed that everyone wanted to know where they could get one. Anne decided to make a few more to sell alongside the CDs at her live performances. Now, hundreds of people are wearing Anne's necklaces and they have become something of an icon at her shows.

Offered here are four original unisex designs. Every necklace is hand-made by Anne and features a unique and authentic antique key. Do you like choker style, or a little more pendant? You decide and Anne will finish it whatever length you want.
