Fancy keyrings in the clearance sale

What you'll find in this keychain clearance sale

Motif is the easy part. Our wider clearance sale on fashion accessories puts these keyrings next to the other small pieces on the way out, and it makes the real difference obvious: what changes from one keyring to the next is the build (metal, silicone or fabric) and the decorative work on top of it. That is what you notice once the thing is hanging off a bag.

The decorative details worth comparing

Metal charms, silicone figures and plush toys

Metal charms are the heaviest of the three and the most intricately finished. A rhinestone-paved shell or bottle picks up the light as it swings, and the cut-out shapes give the motif real relief. The soft silicone figures take the opposite route: light, matte and bright. Each one comes with a flat lanyard you can slip over your hand. Fabric rounds off the three, with embroidered tulle and lace skirts, satin bows and small sewn flowers.

Where each finish earns its place

A metal charm belongs on keys you carry every day. The buckles on the belts we are clearing come in the same silver-tone and gold-tone finishes, if you like the two to answer each other. Put the fabric ones on the outside of a bag, where they stay visible and clear of the keys. Silicone suits a wrist or a rucksack loop, since the lanyard is flat enough to sit comfortably.

The lobster clasp and split ring, in practice

Every piece here uses the same fitting: a lobster clasp on a split ring. It sounds like a footnote, but it settles how you end up using the keyring. Keys go on the ring, the clasp goes wherever you like, and the same charm can move between a summer tote and a work bag.

The clear-out is not limited to keyrings, either. Our clips, bands and elastics are going the same way.
