The Keybrid

Filed under: Gadgets, Art

The first thing that came to mind when I saw this keyring from Scott Amron was the Jon Franklin quote: "Simplicity, carried to an extreme, becomes elegance."

Also called the Split-Ring-Key, this refreshing, unexpected hybrid key-and-keyring can be brought to your local key cutter, who can craft it to fit any regular KW1 or SC1 keyholes. At just $3.50 each, this is one of those luxuries that won't break the bank.

Amron, who also brought us the black leather bandaids this past summer, has a number of cool and outside-the-box usable-art ideas on his website. We also love this wine stopper, which looks like a talon digging into your bottle. Very goth chic.

Oh no, Trump is at it again. He already has a watch line, now he is in the jewelry business. This may just be the first time he has followed one of his children into a business rather than vice versa, his daughter Ivanka has already announced a jewelry line. The Donald J. Trump Signature Fine Jewelry Collection will be manufactured by jewelry manufacturer SHR, a division of M. Fabrikant & Sons. The new collection of men's jewelry includes rings, cuff links, bracelets, money clips and key rings that feature diamonds, gold and gemstones. Prices range from $95 for a simple steel keychain emblazoned with the Trump crest to $5,000 for a gold, onyx and diamond bracelet.

Bottega Veneta Mini Purse Key Ring, Handbag of the Day

Filed under: Handbags

Possibly the tiniest functional purse I've see, this Mini Purse Key Ring from Bottega Veneta is worthy of Cute Overload. Attached to a 9-inch chain, the little purse is about 2" high and made of soft, supple leather. It has a tiny clasp at the top, opening the bag to slip in a few well-folded bills or a couple of coins, and comes in both white and green. The chain also has a keyring and a belt hook, making it easy to attach and carry around with you. Price: $200.

Jack Spade Prison Key Ring

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

The Prison Key Rings from Jack Spade are the sort of thing you give, as a gift, to people who already have absolutely everything or just like to collect oddities. The handbraided horsehair knot tassels are made by inmates in a Montana prison. Each is threaded onto a 1.5" ring engraved with the Jack Spade logo. The tassels are 5" long and are available in a variety of colors, although you don't get to pick which color yours will be. Price: $75.

Louis Vuitton Jack & Lucie Keyring

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Most designers don't go out of their way to put out something specifically for Halloween. Even though it is the third-most expensive holiday in terms of the money that is spent specifically on holiday items, a good deal of that money goes towards kids stuff and costumes, not other accessories. Louis Vuitton bucked the trend with a very cute keychain this year. The Jack & Lucie Keyring was a limited edition (rumored to be sold out by now) accessory offered just for Halloween. It features two lacquered heads - one of a Jack o' Lantern and one of a skull, named after the oldest human fossil, Lucie - with Swarovski crystal smiles. The back of each has the LV signature logo.
