I co-hosted a party over the weekend, and just as I was beginning lunch, a woman sat down beside me and handed me a small gift bag.
"I'm Dusty Brown," she said, "and this is for you."
Inside the box was a gorgeous, sterling silver beaded necklace, with an antique skeleton key hanging at the end.
"I can't believe it," I told her. "You have no way of knowing this, but I've been looking at key necklaces online for weeks. I really wanted one, but I couldn't find one I liked."
Dusty's, though, was perfect. It even matched the outfit I was wearing at the party. I put it on, got tons of compliments that day, and have been wearing it ever since.
And when I checked out Dusty's website and saw that she custom makes these necklaces for a very nice price, I knew I had to tell you how you can get your hands on one.
Dusty will make you a necklace like this one with glass beads in the colors you choose and an antique skeleton key for $65.
It's a fabulous price for a unique, handmade piece of jewelry, whether you're buying it as a gift or for yourself. What I love about this necklace is that it fits all kinds of styles. It looks very classy on its own, or you can wear it with other necklaces of graduated lengths for that ultra-trendy look.
I can see this necklace working on a woman in her 20s or one in her 60s and beyond. Love. It.
I didn't know Dusty Brown from Dusty Springfield before this weekend ... I'm just obsessed with my new necklace and thought I'd tell you about it.

Thanks for sharing!
Fabulous!!!!!
I wish Dusty people would sit next to me and give me presents.
Have a party and see what happens! :D
I'm sorry, the necklace didn't catch my eye, but your lip color did! What are you wearing?
LOL, I'm wearing this:

with a little lipgloss on top. :)
I can't decide if I like key necklaces or not. I also wonder if it's one of those fad thingies that will be gone soon. Is the key detachable from the rest of the necklace?
That is such an awesome, random thing she did.
I had the same problem, Marsha, but one thing I like about this necklace is that the key is a real antique skeleton key, which to me transcends the trend. I'll wear it forever. :)
LOVE it.
