It is simply impeccable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI was particularly moved by the design of the locking clasp. It is so simple yet so robust!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe thickness of the parts is exquisite; anything thicker would be clunky, and anything thinner would feel fragile, but this balance is perfect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI have seen a lot of silver in my time, but the French silversmiths of this era are truly remarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHermes pieces have always been produced by world-renowned French workshops, where artisans craft each item by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eYou can attach it to a belt loop or a bag like a keychain, or use it for its intended purpose to hold your keys—it’s an accessory for the true connoisseur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe also use a silver keychain (not Hermes) for our own car keys, and we usually just leave it on the shelf in the entryway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhenever we go to drive, seeing that keychain in the ignition looks so sharp and cool—it’s a sight I love. Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eI’ve realized recently that upgrading small everyday items is a delightful hobby for an adult.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis keychain collection was first introduced in the 70s. It was produced in 18K gold as well and sold in boutiques until around the 90s,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ebut it is no longer in production, making it a vintage-only find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAlso, because production numbers are extremely low compared to bracelets and other items, it has become a collector's item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe acquired this one from our dear, long-time jeweler in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn fact, our main reason for visiting Paris recently was to go see him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSince he only deals directly, we went to meet him, and he suddenly pulled this out of his pocket as a surprise. Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAlmost all the sharp silver pieces we offer at TOTO come from him. He is a trusted dealer who covers everything from vintage to high-end French silver, and he acquired this piece from a friend of his.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAlthough there are no original accessories included, the previous owner mentioned it was purchased at Hermes by their father back in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt’s a one-of-a-kind piece with the aura that only old silver, cherished for years through generations, can possess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhether you’ve been looking to add this to your collection or you are already an enthusiast, this is a collectible Hermes accessory we wholeheartedly recommend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThere is a screw on the connecting part of the clasp; you can pull the round part to detach and open one side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWhen using it as a keychain to hold keys, we recommend adding a separate jump ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt bears a French maker's mark and a stamp indicating 800 silver; these markings and materials are common in the 70s.
