The elephant has a smiling expression, with deliberately rounded contours and a pronounced relief, typical of late 20th-century accessories. The figurine's surface has an aged brass look, with an uneven patina that enhances the piece's retro character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe main ring has a matte gold finish, harmonizing with the elephant charm, and extends into a solidly set geometric fastener. The brown braiding, inserted between the fastener and the charm, adds a handcrafted and authentic touch to the whole. The engraved details on the elephant's head, particularly the eyes, ear, and raised trunk, are clear and well-proportioned, highlighting the quality of the craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe keychain is signed \"Selmy Trading,\" a brand mentioned in the keywords, although the inscription is not explicitly visible on the photographed side.
