It's a cryptocurrency piggy bank. You can put funds into it but you need to break it apart to get funds inside; so it's tamper evident. It won't burn, rot, rust, melt, or otherwise lose data where so many other types of cold storage would.
I was unsatisfied with current methods of cold storage and so I decided to make myself something better. Click here to see problems with common methods of cold storage and why you should want something better
A backup seed or private key can be printed on paper or stored digitally but these mediums can be damaged by fire, time, water, and much more.

The Keyois Capsule is a tamper evident yet stylish way to keep a secret key safe from harm.
Benefits over a conventional paper cold storage wallet include:
- Titanium rings won't become unreadable with water or smoke damage
- Rot proof (until we get alien fungus, probably from space)
- Made of corrosion/rust resistant materials
- Key pair is kept in water tight space
- Shinny and all awesome looking
- Can survive being boiled in custard and baked into a pie
- Tamper evident, if someone sees your current paper wallet you might not know until you go to spend it

The Keyois Capsule
Your BIP38 encrypted Secret Key (or otherwise encrypted backup seed) in engraved into a titanium ring.
That is set inside another ring that bears the address.
That is then put into a tamper evident and air-tight capsule with a elegant centerpiece of lab-created ruby or sapphire.
The end pieces are made of aircraft grade aluminium (al 6061) and surrounded by borosilicate (pyrex).
This product is designed mainly for those without access to multiple locations or land so that they cannot make split or multi-sig keys and they are forced to keep all their backups in one site.
It would have cost about the same to make 1 as to make 50, so I made 50 which also means some of you can buy one if you like them.
There are cheaper ways to improve your own situation, including: stamping or engraving on a piece of steel and securing that from wandering eyes. Be creative and have fun!

Here are some more professional photographs by videographer WordsmithJr and here is a long imgur album about me making the capsules
Oh, and here is another short album about making a capsule (not the capsules)

To order
They aren't cheap, I wish they were but they weren't cheap to make.
Price is $100 USD worth of btc paid to only 13kqk3uk2b577KBSjZuwKQT3MGD9mEaVJC
To get the ball rolling I have made seven capsules available that are already ready-to-go that are available for sale without providing me with a encrypted key and address; I'll send you everything already generated and secured.
Everyone else, you must supply me with your address and BIP38 encrypted secret key or encrypted seed. If you don't understand this point then these are probably not for you.
Please re-read BIP38 and do some research on passwordstrength and see this info about the pieces
Then message me with that information what what type of lab-created corundum you want.
21 red ruby stones remain
21 blue sapphire stones remain
6 generated by me ready to be sold
45 capsules remain available in total.
