it fits in Ami's charm lineup","entries":{"100_zamak_construction":"The coffee cup is solid Zamak, a zinc alloy that gives it a noticeable weight and cool touch—in a lineup that includes cord and leather variants, this one feels like a true piece of hardware rather than a textile accent.","ami_de_coeur_cord_keyring_140":"Priced at $140 alongside the padlock, the cord keyring introduces a textile element that lightens the keychain—the coffee cup's all-metal, 100% Zamak construction at $170 offers a deliberately heavier, more premium hand feel.","ami_de_coeur_logo_keyring_109":"The entry-level flat logo keyring at $109 establishes the basement of the lineup—the coffee cup’s $170 price reflects the jump to a fully realized 3D object with more complex casting and finishing.","ami_de_coeur_kiosk_keyring_178":"At $178, the kiosk keyring is the most expensive all-metal object charm, edging out the coffee cup by $8—the minimal gap signals that both sit at the upper end of the purely hardware-based offerings.","ami_de_coeur_pearls_keyring_220":"The leather-and-metal pearls keyring at $220 is the collection’s peak price, combining mixed materials—the coffee cup’s $170 all-metal form sits comfortably below it, delivering a premium hardware experience without the mixed-media markup.","ami_de_coeur_padlock_keychain_140":"The padlock keychain at $140 sits $30 below the coffee cup, suggesting that the more familiar padlock silhouette requires less intricate tooling than a sculptural coffee cup.","size_vs_oversized_ami_de_coeur_logo_keyring":"With dimensions of 3.8 x 2.3 cm, the coffee cup is discreet enough for a zipper pull—the larger 4 x 6.2 cm logo keyring is a full-on statement charm that dominates a bag’s aesthetic.","ami_de_coeur_croissant_keychain_130_monnier_paris":"The croissant keychain at $130 on Monnier Paris confirms that food-shaped objects are a recurring theme in the Ami de Coeur lineup—the coffee cup’s $40 higher price likely reflects its more intricate casting and the broader cultural cachet of the coffee motif."},"entry_quotes":{"100_zamak_construction":[{"url":"https://www.amiparis.com/en-ec/products/gold-metal-ami-de-coeur-coffee-cup-keyring-ukr346hw0014a140","quote":"Main Material : 100%

the hook closure works in practice","entries":{"zamak_100_construction":"Zamak, a zinc-aluminum-magnesium-copper alloy, has higher strength and better plating adhesion than the plated steel often used in entry-level keychain clasps — the hook closure is therefore more resistant to bending under a loaded key ring and less likely to lose its faux-brass finish at friction points over time.","split_ring_hook_modularity":"A traditional split ring handles key organization while the hook acts as a quick‑detach clip — you can leave your keys permanently on the ring and simply unhook the entire assembly from a bag or belt loop without threading metal through a spring coil, making it practical for rotating between bags or securing your keys in a pocket with the charm on the outside.","charm_footprint_of_3_8_x_2_3_cm":"At just 3.8 cm by 2.3 cm, the coffee cup charm stays close to the clasp pivot, so there is less pendulum effect when walking — the hook closure bears less lateral stress than it would with a longer, heavier pendant, which helps preserve spring tension and reduces the chance of accidental disengagement."},"entry_quotes":{"zamak_100_construction":[{"url":"https://www.endource.com/product/ami-paris-ami-de-coeur-coffee-cup-keyring-unisex-keychains-multicolor-one-size-accessories/5w5ajhdk5zle","quote":"100%

Zamak is and how it ages","entries":{"zamak_alloy":"The keychain is cast from Zamak, a zinc-based alloy family developed by the New Jersey Zinc Company in 1929 that combines ~4% aluminum with small amounts of magnesium and copper — in practice the alloy delivers the weight and cool-to-the-touch feel of a metal object with enough malleability to hold the coffee cup's fine details, while its inherent die-castability keeps the price accessible compared to solid brass or sterling silver.","tarnish_behavior":"Zamak's surface reacts slowly with air and moisture to form a protective zinc-oxide layer rather than rusting through like iron, so the cup's brass-toned finish will gradually develop a muted patina over time instead of flaking — but the zinc base is sensitive to prolonged sweat, pool chemicals, and cosmetics, making a wipe with a dry cloth after handling the most effective preservation habit.","hardness_and_wear":"Zamak alloys used in jewelry typically range from 82 to 103 Brinell hardness depending on the exact grade, which means the charm resists scratches better than pewter or aluminum but is softer than solid brass — over time, the brass-toned plating may wear through at friction points like the ring attachment, revealing the lighter zinc substrate.","hypoallergenic_properties":"Zamak is generally considered hypoallergenic because it lacks nickel, making this keychain a lower-risk option for individuals with metal sensitivities — though the brass-toned plating might contain trace copper or nickel, so prolonged skin contact could still trigger a reaction in highly sensitized individuals."},"entry_quotes":{"zamak_alloy":[{"url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamak","quote":"ZAMAK (or Zamac, formerly trademarked as MAZAK) is a family of alloys
