Wayward Sister Keychain

The Wayward Sister Keychain is a collaboration with Cat Bates Jewelry!
 
The design is based off of Cat's Sister Clasp hardware that we've adapted for keychain use. It has no moving parts to break, and operates simply by aligning the notches in each piece so that they pass through one another and lock in place.
 
If you've ever played with a simple blacksmith's puzzle, you'll have some idea of how it feels to use the hardware. There's a bit of a learning curve, but within a few days you'll be doing it one handed, on or off. It's satisfying to play with, and very secure.
 
It's a unique and distinctive piece that's fun, simple, and durable. I use mine every day.
 
The clasp is solid brass, cast in the USA from Cat's hand-fabricated original. The lugged lines and seams, which are vestiges of the fabrication process, become elegant shorelines in the final hardware. 
 
Furnished with a flat brass split ring (made in Japan) and tag (USA). The tag is stamped with my penrose triangle logo by default, but for a few bucks I can stamp some letters or numbers into it (max 5).
 
The loop can be worn in either orientation, up or down. Try both and see which one looks and feels best!
 
Will it fit?
 
The loop is designed to work best with my Rail belts, but it can fit a variety of belts that are 40mm (a hair over 1.5") or less wide, and no thicker than 5mm (that's one nickel and two pennies thick). This means all of my standard belts, but not those labeled "heavy". The placement of the loop can also be limited by studs. Not typically an issue but keep it in mind.
 
If you have a thicker or wider belt but really really want to use one of these, get in touch and we can discuss options.
