Last Sunday after brunch, my friend and I hit Melrose for window shopping, and there it was: a white porcelain key hanging from the neck of a very hip woman. There it swung, elegantly and simply by a thin, black leather cord.

Now, I’ve done my eco-homework. Porcelain falls into the green category, and it’s inexpensive. Green, simple, unique - a porcelain key is a gem of a jewelry statement that won’t break the bank.

Purchase a set of five keys (ranging in size from 1.5” to 2.75” long) for $40 at the Curiosity Shoppe - and gift them or keep them or save them for that special someone who finally deserves the actual key to your eco-heart.
