A key chain includes a bisected hollow cylinder, one side of the bisected hollow cylinder forming a first side and another side forming a second side. The key chain further includes a first holder, the first holder having a first half cylindrical body, the first holder located inside of the first side of the bisected hollow cylinder, such that a first outer radius of the first holder is coextensive with a first inner radius of the second side when interconnected. The key chain further includes a second holder, the second holder having a second half cylindrical body, the second holder located inside of the second side of the bisected hollow cylinder, such that a second outer radius of the second holder is coextensive with a second inner radius of the first side when interconnected. The key chain further includes a first magnetic material and second magnetic material, the first magnetic material located in the first holder and the second magnetic material located in the second holder, the first magnetic material and the second magnetic material oriented such that when the first side and the second side are proximate to forming a complete cylinder, the first holder is guided to the second holder through magnetism between the first magnetic material and the second magnetic material.
