I know, I know, the life of chainmail seems so glamorous. But sometimes, you just gotta sort a big pile of varicolored rings.

Much love to Common Crumb, one of our favorite local cafés, and now a retailer of our lovely crafts! We have a small selection to start with more to come!

If you’re looking for merch AND a snack, a Pride keychain pairs excellently with a maple latte and a strawberry crumb bar.

Three pairs of horns featuring a smokey color swirling in a clear base. In front is deep pink smoke, to the right is a pale green, and on the left is a deep black. In the background you can see the pairs to these horns.

We've been pouring new colors of smokey horns that feature a translucent base - let us know if you want to see your favorite color in this style! Featured below are Candy Floss, Will-o-the-Wisp, and Void essence.

By popular request, we’re adding Lesbian Pride Earrings to our pride collection! You’ll be able to find these cuties at our next event - the Big Gay Kinky Market on August 8th!

Two chokers side-by-side, both arranged in an S-shape. This weave appears to have two separate axes of rings that intersect without looping through their own axis. The near choker is high-contrast yellow and violet; the far one is rainbow and black.

Been having fun with half-Persian chokers lately! Coming soon to a local market near you
