Silver keychain with small red and white rhinestone bunny

A bunny keyring paved in red and clear rhinestones

The charm is a little rabbit standing on two feet. Her dress paved with red rhinestones runs from the collar to the hem, broken only by a pale band at the neck and a small round motif at the waist. Above it, the head is round and wide, set with clear rhinestones that read as white; two black dots make the eyes, a darker point marks the nose, and that is the whole face. The arms repeat the pale stones. The feet stay in plain polished metal.

Both ears rise well above the head, one upright, the other bent back towards the chain. Each is outlined in pale stones and filled with red along the centre, so the colour of the dress turns up twice without being repeated.

The back, the clasp and the ring

Turn the bunny over and the reverse is plain silver-coloured metal, pierced with small clover-shaped openings that show the back of every setting. A short chain joins the figure to a swivel lobster clasp and split ring. The swivel matters more than it sounds: it stops the chain winding up every time the keys are pulled out of a pocket.

Height, colours and fastening

Keys, tote handle or clutch

On a key ring it works as a marker: the red patch comes to hand faster than a bare key does. On the handle of a tote it reads as a bag charm, and at 7 cm it stays well under the size of a plush rabbit. The split ring opens wide enough for a house key, a car key and a fob together, so nothing has to be left off. Colour is really the only choice to make here, and the brighter charms on the key chains shelf sit next to plainer silver ones.

A present that needs no size

A keyring is one of the few gifts that cannot be the wrong fit. This one is bright rather than discreet, so it suits someone who already likes a bit of sparkle on a bag, and it takes up almost no room in a parcel.
