Keyring by FredriksonStallard

11-19-keyring.jpgWe've loved this Keyring by FredricksonStallard ever since we first saw it at CITIZEN:Citizen's old online store, so we're glad to see that it's still available at their new online store. Handmade of porcelain and stainless steel, it's lovely in its simplicity...

 
 

...and it also just begs to be touched.

$49 at CITIZEN:Citizen

Scaled down would make lovely earrings.

I actually thought they WERE earrings at first. I like!

A $50 key ring? Earrings or a pendant, maybe. But for a site that's always preaching about clearing clutter and living green, this is just silly.

I like it. Maybe I could find an appropriate shell at the beach over Thanksgiving and do it myself. . .

For just $50 more, you can get an elegant keychain that will be returned to you when it gets lost...

Have you gone to the CITIZEN: citizen website yet? True, the only affordable gift (the kite) is sold out ... but what a mind expander this website is ... try it for the experience. Definitely the most edgy website ever.

Palmetto - doctors need patients. Just sayin'.

How often do people need a new keyring? Do people have keyring wardrobes to match their glasses frames and handbag? Do elegant grownups collect classy keyrings to use all in a bunch? Does anyone ever mix a beautiful keyring with their serviceable $3 rude saying keyring from Spencer Gifts?

I'm asking because I'm pretty set for keyrings. It's not Tiffany or even Things Remembered, but I've had it a long time and not wished for just the right impersonal gift to come along. I bet you could get a blob of porcelain to rub if you know the right people who know the right people to call and ask. Probably free!

That Tiffany keyring bepsf linked looks remarkably more like a particular piece of body jewelry.

And I agree with Palmetto.

K T G --

I used to have a Japanese Sapporo Beer Bottle-Opener that I bought in Tokyo and used for a key fob...

...until someone swiped my keys off my desk.
(I guess they needed a beer really bad...)

Now I just use a keyfob I received for being with a winning trivia team on a cruise - it has the cruiseline logo and says "Dam Keys"

This is definitely a girl gift. The last thing a guy needs in his pocket is a useless porcelain fob.

I am overly set with key rings. They're one of those things that seem like they'd be a useful gift, but that's what everyone thinks and you end up with 100 of them!

I'm currently using a key ring from Great South. They're under $2 and if you call them up you can specify what kind you'd like (I have two that I alternate- snowflake obsidian and hematite).
