SKELETON KEYS, WHAT TO DO WITH THEM?

If you're like me, you love the old skeleton keys, but what exactly do you do with them?  I've seen them framed, added to shadow boxes, added to personal key chains, and used in mixed media artwork.  Have you ever thought of jewelry?  I surfed Etsy and found a wonderful assortment of handmade jewelry, all using the skeleton key.  Here are a few examples of the talent I found.
