An eighteen carat yellow gold Rolls Royce keychain. This key chain is exceptionally made, and is quite complex in its construction.  There is a well constructed ring at the top to pass the keys through, this is attached by a series of custom made links which then links to the iconic Rolls Royce radiator grill.

The instantly recognisable grille of Rolls-Royce, known as the “Pantheon”, takes its name and inspiration from classical Roman architecture. Its design echoes the Corinthian columns of the Pantheon in Rome, the subtle curvature and spacing of each bar carefully calculated to achieve visual symmetry and grace. When it first appeared in the early twentieth century, the intent was clear — to convey permanence, authority, and quiet grandeur through proportion rather than ornamentation.

Each grille is a feat of craftsmanship. Fabricated from hand-polished stainless steel, it is shaped and finished by individual artisans who mark their work with a discreet signature on the reverse. The lines of the grille are never truly straight; instead, they follow the same architectural principle of entasis, where a barely perceptible curve corrects optical distortion, lending the front of the car a sense of natural balance and life. This commitment to precision reflects the broader Rolls-Royce philosophy of beauty through discipline and refinement.

Beyond its mechanical function, the grille has become the face of the marque. It signals continuity across generations of design, serving as a constant emblem of restrained luxury. Whether seen on the prow of a Phantom or a vintage Silver Ghost, it represents something more enduring than style, an understanding that true elegance lies not in excess, but in the quiet confidence of perfect proportion.

Exceptionally made, inconically designed, and of the highest quality.  Made in London, England, in 1983. it is fully stamped in multiple places with English gold control marks and a makers marks. Each piece that is removable is hallmarked, as is the law in England, with each piece featuring matching date and maker marks. The piece was made by John Goode & Son. John Goode & Sons, makers of fine gold chains, was established by John T. Goode at Regent Place in Birmingham. They later opened a premise at Hatton Garden in London. It is believed that these keychains were made officially for Rolls Royce and retailed through the company as an official additional luxury keychain for vehicles bought from the iconic Crewe based car company.
