Warm wood against cool metal: this St Christopher keyring sets a silver-coloured relief in a round frame of genuine olive wood. On a bunch of keys it stands out at once for its natural colour – and every grain looks different.
The motif recalls a well-known legend: a giant carries travellers across a river. One night a child asks him to take him across, and in the middle of the water the load grows heavier and heavier. On the bank he learns that he has carried the Creator of the world. It is a pious tale with no historical proof, but it explains the name “Christ-bearer”.

The wood does not like permanent damp; a soft, dry cloth is enough for dusting. As a gift it suits passing the driving test, a birthday or someone who is often away on business. You will find matching ideas in the sectionGifts for passing the driving test.
