A key ring is not something you’d spend over £20 on… let lone £8,000! But if you really do have that much money to waste, and a flash car to go with it then why don’t you look at the ultimate key ring made from Platinum.
There is also a gold version available at around £3,500 or the silver version around £200!
A little extortionate if you ask me, but I am sure there are a few ‘mugs’ around that would quite happily pass over £8,000 for a keyring… just make sure you don’t lose it in the fruit bowl at a swinger party!
