Included in the 2026 Pride Collection:
Double Moon Element - Inspired by Vivian Wagner’s 1998 design, the Double Moon celebrates fluidity, self-discovery, and the beauty of embracing every part of who you are.

Carabiner CrossBar™ Element - A subtle nod to le***an history and community. After WWII when women, specifically butch le***ans, went to work blue collar jobs, carabiners were a commonly used tool and it became a subtle way to identify other q***r women. Inspired by the carabiner’s role as a symbol of q***r flagging, connection, and belonging.

Sappho Element - Honoring the ancient Greek poet from the Island of Le**os, whose legacy helped shape modern LGBTQIA+ identity and serves as a symbol for sapphic women today.

Rainbow Rhinestone CrossBar™ Element - A refined, fashion-forward interpretation of the rainbow flag, representing pride, visibility, and the freedom to shine in your own unique way.

Lantern Postage Stamp Element - Inspired by the poet Emily Dickinson and one of her letters “I’m out with lanterns looking for myself” this element symbolizes the journey of self-discovery and lighting the way for yourself and others.

Lavender Vessel Element - A handcrafted collaboration with FoundKept Jewelry featuring a real preserved lavender flower. From Sappho to Oscar Wilde, The Lavender Scare in 1950s and Lavender Menaces in the 1970s, lavender remains to be a symbol of q***r culture and resilience.
