30+ Intricate & Cryptic Key Designs

We use keys every day to lock up our valuable possessions or to open our precious vaults when needed. Despite their practical importance, we don’t hold them in high regard like we do with our jewelry or photography equipment. The reason is quite simple: their boring, straight-off-the-mill designs.

In fact, one key looks pretty much like another, apart from the pattern carved into the body of the key. This gives us all the more reason to spruce things up a bit, doesn’t it?

The only limit to an artist’s work is their imagination, and that’s what we’re featuring in today’s post. Here are 40 awesome intricately designed and cryptic keys that you’ve probably never encountered before.
