key ring

Janitor's jingling circle

A key ring is a small metal loop or chain designed to hold keys together.

The basic form is a split ring—a coiled metal circle that keys slide onto and stay secured.

Key rings often include decorative attachments or tags: She had a rabbit's foot on her key ring.

The term also applies to the complete assembly of ring plus keys: He jangled his key ring nervously.
