This delicate charm necklace is presented in its original Mt. Rushmore Gold jewelry box, a well-known Black Hills, South Dakota retailer specializing in Black Hills silver and gold jewelry with a Lifetime Guarantee. The necklace features two dainty sterling silver-toned charms suspended together on a single jump ring: a puffy heart charm embossed with a raised cross motif, and a small skeleton key charm with textured detailing along the bow and bit. Both charms measure approximately 1/2 inch in length each, and hang from a fine cable-link chain estimated at 16-18 inches in length. Black Hills jewelry has a rich regional heritage dating back to the 1870s gold rush era, and pieces from retailers like Mt. Rushmore Gold are popular collectibles throughout the Rocky Mountain and Great Plains regions, making this a particularly appealing lot for Colorado and regional buyers. The religious heart-and-key motif carries symbolic significance representing faith and devotion, making this a meaningful gift piece as well as a collectible. The original presentation box is white leatherette with gold-tone corner accents and cream velvet interior, stamped with the Mt. Rushmore Gold logo featuring the iconic monument imagery. Condition is Good to Very Good overall; the charms display light tarnish and oxidation consistent with age and storage, the heart charm shows minor surface dulling, and the key charm retains its textured detail well; the chain appears intact and functional; the original box shows light soiling to the exterior fabric and minor wear to the interior lining but remains structurally sound and presentable.
