Q: Can I use this as a bag charm as well as a keyring?
A: Yes. The O-ring and chain let you clip it to most handbag D-rings or slide the split ring over a handle. If your bag has no ring, you can loop the keyring around a handle to wear it as a charm. Please ensure it is fully closed before use.

Q: How big is it and how will it sit on a bag?
A: The overall drop is approximately 13 cm with a charm width of about 3 cm. It hangs as a compact accent on tote handles, top-handle bags, or backpacks without overpowering them. Refer to the Measurements on this page for exact sizing.

Q: What does silver-tone hardware mean? Is it solid silver?
A: Silver-tone describes the colour/finish rather than solid sterling silver. Luxury keyrings are typically crafted from a base metal with a silver-coloured plating or coating. Treat it gently and avoid abrasive metal polishes to preserve the finish.

Q: How should I care for the red enamel and metal finish?
A: Wipe with a soft, dry microfibre cloth after wear. For light soil, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap on a soft cloth, then dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals, alcohol hand sanitiser, perfume, and ultrasonic cleaners. Store separately in a soft pouch to prevent knocks and scratches.

Q: Can the enamel chip or fade?
A: Enamel is glass fused to metal, so it keeps its colour well but can chip if dropped or hit against hard surfaces. Handle with care, avoid impacts, and don’t stack it with hard items when storing or in a handbag.

Q: Will the silver-tone finish tarnish or mark over time?
A: Plated finishes can dull or develop micro-scratches with normal use, contact with moisture, lotions, or coastal humidity. Minimise exposure to water and chemicals, wipe after use, and avoid abrasive cloths. Light hairline marks are normal for vintage metal pieces.

Q: Does a Dior keyring have a serial number or date code?
A: Dior date codes are mainly found on bags and small leather goods. Small metal items like keyrings typically feature brand hallmarks or logos rather than date codes. Look for clear, well-executed Dior markings on the hardware.
