Ok so I am trying to find some really cool pride jewelry and I just can't find anywhere to buy it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I seriously am looking for something not to flashy but nice and not really expensive.

I made my own pride bracelet and necklace out of colored hemp string. If you know the basic design of a friendship bracelet (it's called "easy stripe form" according to Wikipedia), that's not a bad way to make one. And because it's a relatively small bracelet, though it's clear in its message, one could hardly call it flashy.

Well I was thinking about that but I also am looking for a silver double male necklace. I saw a pic of one I really liked that someone was wearing on here but they couldn't tell me where they got it so I was like dang

but yeah thats what I am looking for also.

Amazon?

collegeforfun · 26th Feb 2011, 09:50 AM

tried but its all kinda cheap made stuff i want inexpensive but not cheap stuff that breaks when you touch it.

Buddy of mine got a good rainbow bracelet at Hot Topic.

Ghostly · 26th Feb 2011, 10:28 AM

Why don't u just buy the materials like at places like fabricland( where they sell textiles) and make it yourself?

collegeforfun · 26th Feb 2011, 10:31 AM

That just might not be a bad idea

Flyers2011 · 26th Feb 2011, 10:44 AM

Around me there's a shop called the Shed. It's a bit of a 'sex' shop (I have friends that go there to buy incense and stuff) and they have all kinds of pride jewerly in there. I'm not sure of what all they have but I know they have hemp stuff and metal jewelry.

If you could find a place like that or even Spencer's they might have some nice stuff.

Tiny Catastrophe · 26th Feb 2011, 11:22 AM

I would appreciate that very much

thedreamwatch · 26th Feb 2011, 01:15 PM

Oh, the other thing I was think is that Etsy probably has some really cool stuff, but price varies greatly by seller. Everything I've ever gotten from there has been awesome though, regardless of seller.

Tiny Catastrophe · 26th Feb 2011, 02:43 PM

i think i may be nuts. i couldve sworn there was a thread about it but i couldnt find it. sorry

**Chip** · 26th Feb 2011, 02:48 PM

they have almost vanished now but if there happens to still be a gay bookstore in your area (like Lambda Rising in DC or A Different Light in San Francisco), those almost always have a pretty good collection of LGBT jewelry.

There used to be a mail order house called Shocking Gray that sold LGBT stuff exclusively. They've long since ceased to exist but if you search "shocking gray mail order" I think you might find a reference to whomever bought them out, that would carry the same sort of stuff.

You can get some stuff from the human rights campaign. http://shop.hrc.org/jewelry-watches/...ipse-ring.html I have a bracelet from them and my friend has a ring-both are really nice quality. Plus, money from your purchase goes to gay rights activism, so everybody wins.
