Ben Durham of the brand Colony created this clip-on carabiner ring that when not being worn can carry out a number of different functions.
The 'Caraband' is made from stainless steel material and is the combination of both a finger ring and a metal carabiner clip used for quickly connecting components. Although not meant to replace the function of a full-sized carabiner, this carabiner ring can be used for a number of different functions like suspending a lantern or securing something to a belt loop in a pinch.
The 'Caraband' is also ideal for those working in industries where wearing a ring on their finger is not allowed or dangerous. Doctors, machinists, food workers or outdoor sports enthusiasts can quickly and easily clip the ring to an article of clothing and not worry about losing their jewelry.
