The skeleton key was given its name due to the human skull shape of the hole they were created to fit in. Keys often symbolize “discovery”, “new opportunity’ or “security”.

This photo was taken by shining light through a key hole shape in a piece of paper.  Recent trends in fashion have led to a boom in “skeleton key” motif necklaces.

Have you ever owned an item that needed to be opened using a skeleton key?
