Bisexual Jewelry

This is the male Mars symbol combined with the female Venus symbol. It is a variant of the symbol once adopted by the entertainer known now/again as Prince. This sign also denotes the union of male and female, besides the sexual proclivities of those who are attracted sexually to both males and females.

Celtic Female/Female Knot Ring, 14kt Gold

This ring features a two women, their arms turning into a celtic heart knot, and their legs into a celtic knot and heart. The ring can also be made with two men. We haven't made a pair with two men.....YET. Rings like this cost $750 and up, depending on size.

Female Jewelry

The circle represents the divine, the cross is an earth symbol. The correlation refers to the earth goddess, the Earth Mother; the earliest divine symbol we know. This is also the planetary symbol for Venus, the planet of love and beauty, the Morning and the Evening Star. This symbol is also meant to represent Venus' hand mirror.

Labrys Jewelry

This is a double-headed axe sacred to the goddess in her warrior form. A ceremonial scepter at Delphi, this symbol represents female and matriarchal power. Remembered for its Amazon associations, the axe has been adopted as an amulet for lesbians as the power side of feminism. This also looks great with a stone in the center.

On the right is a Labrys with a rainbow moonstone in 14kt gold. Any of the designs we make can be fabricated in karat gold. Just email us for any changes you'd like to have in either the silver or gold the labrys. We can go smaller on this piece for a post or dangle earring too.

Double Male Jewelry

The male symbol is the astrological symbol for Mars. Like the female it is composed of the circle of the divine but instead of an earth cross it has an arrow pointing to the stars - a symbol of war but also of farsightedness. Two male symbols together is the sign for gay male love. We can go do post or dangle earrings too - email us.

Male Jewelry

Popularized by the Austen Powers movies (in fact we made one 4" tall for an Austen Powers Halloween costume) this symbol, like the female symbol, represents the gender in terms of its relationship to the divine. The male symbol is the astrological symbol for Mars - like the female it is composed of the circle of the divine but instead of an earth cross it has an arrow pointing to the stars - a symbol of war but also of farsightedness. It is also suggested to be the spear and shield of the god Mars.

Trisexual Jewelry

Celebrating a different union, or another form of the bisexual symbol, the version on the left combines two Venus symbols, the sign for woman with a Mars symbol, the sign for man. The version on the right is two Mars symbols and one Venus symbol. Trisexual (sometimes 'trysexual') is either an extension of, or a pun on bisexual. In its more serious usage, it indicates an interest in transgender persons in addition to men and women born and raised as men and women called "cis-sexual." In its more humorous usage, it refers to someone who will try any sexual experience. It is used in the song "La Vie Boheme" in the Broadway musical "Rent."

Pansexual, omnisexual, anthrosexual, and pomosexual (postmodern sexuality) are substitute terms that, rather than referring to both or "bi" sex attraction, refer to all or "omni" sex attraction and are used mainly by those who wish to express acceptance of all sex possibilities, including transgender and intersex people, not just the old two. Pansexuality sometimes includes an attraction for less mainstream sexual activities, such as BDSM. Some people who might otherwise identify as pansexual or omnisexual choose to self-identify as bisexual because the term bisexual is more widely known, and because they see it as an important term in identity politics.

BDSM Jewelry

We have made a great many BDSM related pieces of jewelry and feel that this is a market that is under-served for high quality products. If you are a member of this community and would like something custom, don't hesitate to email us.

BDSM Symbol Jewelry

On the left is an East Asian version of the triple yin yang - see here for more info on that - adopted by the BDSM community with some drama. Read the next paragraph. We can oxidize the middle to conform with the usual version if you like. On the right is our version of the classic BDSM symbol. It can be oxidized also.

In 1995 a guy calling himself 'Quagmyr' decided that the triple yin yang would be a good symbol for the BDSM community - so he proceeded to copyright it and now threatens to sue people for using it! Here's one of his pages . Needless to say you cannot copyright an ancient symbol. But he preys on ignorance and has actually made money and obtained huge apologies from folks who have used the symbol on their sites! What a shame and such a violation of the spirit of community and so much more. FEEL FREE TO USE THIS AND ANY OTHER SYMBOL AS YOU PLEASE!

Skull Jewelry

The skull, in Western thought, is often a momento mori, a contemplation on death. The skull also signifies the importance of the head and the brain, including its oracular function. Today, it is the sign of the deviant and the outlaw (not to mention pirates, emos and fashion victims). With the flames representing speed, the version of the skull on the left is most popular with bikers. This design and the next are after tattoo flash by L. Zulueta.

The skull on the right is a tribal design and derives from tattoo work from the South Pacific. Hanky Panky, a famous tattooist, is credited with introducing tribal tattoo to the Western world, but it was really sailors of the 16th through 19th Centuries who popularized tribal motifs. The skull in some cultures is a symbol for reincarnation, which is also the reason for the spiral in the tattoo skull on the right.

The guitar skull on the left is another in the series of tattoo inspired jewelry. The skull is inferred, but it's a great design, especially for a rock guitarist, heavy metal fan, or tat aficionado.

The skull and bones on the right combines tattoo, Polynesian tribal, and pirate influences. Since it was primarily sailors who popularized tattooing, the skull and bones/knives is particularly appropriate. Modelled after work by Hanky Panky and Leo Zulueta, this skull works better as a pin with a millitary clutch back on a leather jacket, or as Mark wears it, on a hat.

Skull Forever Ring

This customer sent us a photo of a ring similar to this one that he wanted but as a hand-made, custom engagement ring for his fiancee. Rings of this somplexity start at $300.

Sacred Heart Tattoo Jewelry

The Sacred Heart, although most popularly known as a Christian symbol (later appropriated by punk and goth subcultures), originates in Egyptian thought, where the heart is considered to be the seat of the soul. In Mesoamerica the blood of the heart was believed to fuel the sun's circuit through the daytime sky and was the dismal excuse for a great many human sacrifices.

The two hearts below are slightly different deigns. Both sacred hearts are layered designs but the one on the right has three high quality cabochon garnets on it. It also has the heart, the crown of thorns around it, the fire of God's love coming out of the top and Christ's blood dripping from the bottom! If that doesn't cover it - I don't know what will.

Biohazard Jewelry

or Biological Hazard. Although this modern design, representing the threat of biological contamination, bears great similarity to ancient tripartite symbols such as the triquetra and triskalion, it is in fact a glyph showing an organism breaking through a circular containment field. When we developed this design as jewelry we had no idea that the threat of bioterrorism would make it so well known.

Charles Baldwin,who worked at Dow Chemical (!) and participated in the design process sez: "I ran into a peculiar situation one time a couple years ago when someone was putting on a seminar on biohazards. As gifts for the participants, he devised a beautiful tie with little biohazard symbols all over it. This got me upset, and I sent him kind of a nasty letter saying this symbol was not designed to be used sartorially.'' I guess he hasn't been to our site yet :)

The Finger as Jewelry

Recently revitalized in the public consciousness by Eminem who declared that it was a positive message, the upraised middle finger is the most effective American gestural curse. In Western culture, the finger (as in 'giving someone the finger') - also known as: the middle finger, the bird (as in 'flipping the bird') or to flip someone off - is an obscene hand gesture, often meaning the phrase "fuck you" or "up yours". It is performed by extending the middle finger of the hand while bending the other fingers into the palm. It is identified as the digitus impudicus (impudent finger) in Ancient Roman writings and reference is made to using the finger in ancient Greek comedy to insult another person.

The widespread usage of the finger in many cultures is likely due to the geographical influence of the Roman Empire and Greco-Roman civilization. Another possible origin of this gesture can be found in the first century Mediterranean world, where extending the digitus impudicus was one of many methods used to divert the ever present threat of the evil eye.

The piece can be a pendant or a pin. In this case the jump ring is soldered to the back, but it can also be soldered to the tip. The finger on the right, in 14kt gold, is probably not what Ian Fleming had in mind when he titled his James Bond novel.

Key to Hell Jewelry

Well known to readers of the The Sandman comic novels, this design is similar to the key to Hell Lucifer gave Morpheus when he relinquished his role as Lord of the Underworld. Use this modern magickal charm as a means to get out of a negative situation or at least to let the difficulty be the fuel for your liberation!

The key on the left is sterling silver, oxidized black and burnished so it won't rub off, at least with minimal care. The key on the right was said by our customer to be vibrating in his hand when he received it! We suspect this was more his magickal energy than ours, but the key is powerful, in either silver or 14kt gold.

Led Zeppelin Symbol Pendants

On the Led Zeppelin IV album, Jimmy Page cajoled the four band members into choosing symbols to represent their names on the album cover. The album itself was then called these four symbols (see below), creating all sorts of difficulty for record companies publishing the name on the record charts. Page stated that the symbols were taken from common reference texts. Three of the symbols were easily identified, but Jimmy Page's own "Zoso" symbol proved hard to identify. In fact, you should go to this terrific site to get all the low down: In The Light - Led Zepelin. The author, Duncan, has researched the fuck out of this and his writing is coherent and pleasing. He is also interested in birding, technology and enlightenment.

More from Duncan: "The symbols of John Paul Jones and John Bonham can be found in The Book of Signs by Rudolf Koch (published by The Limited Editions Club, London, 1930) - pages 32 and 33 have the symbols for John Paul Jones and John Bonham. Jones' symbol is what we call the triquetra but in this book is called a single circle with 3 intersecting vesica pisces. it symbolizes a person with confidence and competence. It also appears in various mystery school texts, such as the Rosicrucians."

Also from Duncan:

"John Bonham's symbol is three intersecting circles. It symbolizes the man-wife-child trilogy. This symbol also appears on The Heirophant tarot card (Crowley deck) where the trilogy symbolizes Osiris-Isis-Horus.

Robert Plant's symbol - the circle with the feather in it, is the feather of Ma'at, the Egyptian goddess of justice and fairness, and is the emblem of a writer (ie: song lyrics). It can be found in The Sacred Symbols of Mu by Colonel James Churchward in Chapter V, on pages 142 and 143. This is not a common symbol, but does turn up in Egyptian and Red Indian (I have no idea what that means!) texts."

We now make the feather without the engraving on the rim to be more like the album cover.

Led Zeppelin Ring

On the Led Zeppelin IV album, Jimmy Page inspired the four band members to choose symbols to represent their names on the album cover. Here are the symbols on a wide band ring. This ring costs $300 and up in argentium silver.

Peace Symbol Jewelry

Originally known as the witch's or crow's foot, this symbol was a sign of death. It was adopted by the Committee on Nuclear Disarmament in the 1950's to represent man's inevitable fate if he continues to deal with nuclear power. Gerald Holtom, the artist of the symbol, was in deep despair about mankind's fate when he made this symbol.

The symbol itself is a combination of the semaphoric signals for the letters "N" and "D," standing for Nuclear Disarmament. In semaphore the letter "N" is formed by a person holding two flags in an upside-down "V," and the letter "D" is formed by holding one flag pointed straight up and the other pointed straight down. Superimposing these two signs forms the shape of the peace symbol.

Peace Symbol Dog Tags

Here the peace symbol is linked in a dog tag with a heart, symbolizing love - promoting the best of all possible worlds: peace and love. This can also be made just as a love dog tag - if you're the romantic sort. We have made dog tags that say: "How Many Have to Die?" and "No Blood for Oil." How about: "Make Love Not War" - it worked once before!

Peace Symbol Rings

Now these be some mighty fancy peace rings! 14kt gold, argentium and diamonds. AND - both rings went to the same customer - she's serious about her beliefs.

Rastafarian Lion of Judah Jewelry

The Lion of Judah is the symbol of the Ethiopian monarchy and here carries the flag of Ethiopia and wears the imperial crown. This is the primary symbol of the Rastafari and represents H. H. Hailie Selasie; Jah; the courage and heroism needed in the fight against Babylon; the System and for the African roots of mankind. On November 2, 1930 Emperor Haile Selassie was crowned King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Elect of God and Power of the Trinity in the eyes of the 72 nations of this world bowing down to His Imperial Majaesty. Rastas hold that Selassie is a direct descendant of the Israelite Tribe of Judah through the lineage of King David and Solomon, and that he is also the Lion of Judah mentioned in the Book of Revelation.

"I and I sound the alarm, Selasie soldiers beat Babylon back! Jah Rules!"

Rastafarian Lion of Judah Signet Rings

All of the signet rings we sell are made by hand, built from sterling silver or karat gold sheet. They are not cast. Consequently they are extremely strong and, as far as we know, quite unique. We know of no other jewelers who are making signet rings in this way. Here the Rastafarian Lion of Judah has been made into a signet ring. This ring could also be made with a 14kt gold Lion on a silver signet ring for around $650 but........depends on your size.
