Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, the improved vial holder apparatus comprises a body portion having two pairs of outwardly extending arms and top and bottom outwardly extending supports. The outwardly extending arms and supports together define a central cavity for releasably securing therein a vial. The top support preferably includes an aperture for receiving a ring therein such that the vial holder apparatus may be secured to a necklace or to a key ring along with a set of keys. Accordingly, the vial holder apparatus permits a vial to be securely held within the holder thereby lessening the chance of damage to the vial. The holder also permits the vial to be releasably secured to a necklace or a key chain thereby lessening the chance of loss of the vial.
