split rings

Keychain attachment loops

Split rings are small metal rings with a coiled construction, like a miniature key ring, allowing items to be threaded onto them by separating the overlapping ends.

They're commonly used in jewelry making to attach charms and clasps, and in fishing tackle to connect lures to lines.

Unlike solid rings, their split design allows attachment without tools: Thread the charm onto the split ring.
