Moon Rabbit Key Fob


In Chinese folklore, Moon Rabbit stories are special. I've heard plenty stories of the rabbit in the moon since childhood; great starting point for lots of design ideas!


This is after several incarnations since the prototype.


I know, it's highly abstract.  But there's enough for the imagination to work with:-)


Made of thick gauge anodized aluminum and bright aluminum rings, the bunny is sturdy enough to hold its shape; but the head, the long ears, and the fluffy tail can all move along the body rings, giving the bunny different poses and looks.


And the little bell will charm just enough to help you find your key chain when it's sitting at the bottom of your purse:-)  I've always needed that!!!


This little cutie can be available for purchase by custom order.  Drop me an email for any questions on custom orders!

Hishigata (Japanese Diamond) Key Fob

Hishigata (means diamond in Japanese) is a colorful key fob, made in the Japanese chainmaille weave on the loose end of AR, resulting in a fun diamond pattern that is not only pleasing to the eye, also flexible in form to fit comfortably in your palm.


The jingly bells help you find it just in case it fell off toward the bottom of your purse, back pack, shopping bag, and what not:-)


The key fob is made with anodized aluminum jump rings which are light weight, and in brightly jewel tones.  I triple-stacked the horizontal rings to give the diamond shape more substance and better secured to take on the pulls-and-tugs.


I paired the diamond shape with a crescent shape split ring to hold all your key-holding needs:-)  The juxtaposition of sharp corners of a diamond and the soft curve of the new moon!  Unexpectingly complementary!


The key fob measures about 5 inches long, 2 inches wide, 3/8 inch thick.  All color rings are anodized aluminum, with the split/key ring in plated base metal.
