Key rings are one of those things we use without much thought; usually you get a fresh one when you rent a new apartment, or buy a car. Sometimes you get fancy and someone buys you an “expensive” key ring for graduation or something. I mean, come on, they hold your keys right? Well, not these.

Kiel Mead’s key rings are just that: rings made from keys. Available in a variety of styles from Ford Mustang to Standard House, these are sure to put a funky twist to that boring graduation “key ring” gift. A graduate of Pratt’s ID program, Mead is one of those people who just seems to see the world with a little bit of a slant. Who else would have thought to make a literal object out of a “key ring” or to cast the “forget me knot” — usually a piece of string — in silver and gold?
