Keychains can be just as expressive as jewelry, with options ranging from gold medals to personalized photo acrylics and handmade wooden rings. Car enthusiasts can find key fobs at automotive centers, while carabiners and pocket chains can also be used. Quick disconnect key fobs are useful for separating work and personal keys.
For an item we carry with us everywhere, key chains don’t usually get a lot of attention. But keychains can be just as expressive as the jewelry we wear, from diamond earrings and gold bracelets to rugged digital wristwatches and military tags. There are probably as many different types of keychains as there are people!
For those who like classic elegance, there is the gold ring with a gold medal pendant. These gold plated brass medals are round or rectangular with gently rounded corners and can be engraved. Personalized gold keychains make great affordable gifts for any occasion, not just for friends or family, but also for co-workers.
If you prefer more whimsical keychains, there are online vendors that will place personal photos on an acrylic keychain. The controller is made to look like a framed thumbnail image. This presents another world of possibilities for gift ideas. A wedding photo, a water skiing photo, a baby photo, or even a photo of a beloved pet can make a great keychain.
For the person who appreciates handmade items, consider a wooden key ring. These keychains vary greatly in appearance. Some wooden key rings are made of highly polished intricate inlays to form beautiful designs. Others are cylindrical wooden key rings that may have gold ends. An online company accepts customer-supplied sentimental wood to make custom key chains. This could be lumber from her house or the gazebo where she proposed, or perhaps from her son’s leadoff little league bat or her grandfather’s seesaw.
For the car enthusiast, there are a multitude of key fobs available at any automotive center. Choose from all the major makes and models to find your choice of silver or gold badges, commonly supported by a finely stitched leather key fob.
Even items that aren’t meant to be keychains can be substituted for the real thing. Carabiners used in rock climbing, for example, make great key chains. “Pocket chain” key chains are made from a length of chain with a spring or elastic ring at each end. A key ring goes into the snap ring, while the snap ring is attached to a clip.
If you have more than one set of keys, you may appreciate a key fob with a quick disconnect. This small depression-activated connector allows you to easily connect and disconnect a second key fob with the push of a pin into the connector sleeve. The inner sleeve stays on the primary set of keys, for example, while the outer sleeve detaches to stay with the secondary set. This is especially useful for separating work and personal keys. When you need to carry all your keys, the key rings will quickly re-attach.
So take a look at your keychain.
