Welcome to the fam
Every year I look for one piece of jewelry that I know I’ll wear everyday over t-shirts. It has to be kind of nondescript and boring so it can blend into everything I wear. Wasn’t at all happy with the offerings from Margiela the past two seasons so I had to look elsewhere. Also, don’t like to wear jewelry that looks too unique or weird anymore because it’s so hard to be casual with it, though I do love to look at dramatic looking jewelry, just prefer it not be around my neck or wrists.
I was happy with several rings I bought from Kiki de montparnasse years ago, so this year I checked their fine jewelry section again both in store and online, didn’t find anything that propelled my impulse to purchase. With an open mind and wishful mentality I combed through more of their e-commerce and I did see this, loved the overall aesthetic.. sort of just looks like a long bullet, really simple and sleek and nondescript. There was one problem, it’s a battery operated device, but people on the street don’t need to know about that. It will blend in with all of my outfits. I won’t be using it for it’s intended purpose but all that matters is that I like the look.
I ended up taking the battery out because it makes this necklace very heavy, and the chain is very delicate.
My KDM necklace is new to my small family of accessories…. This white gold/diamond rolex and diamond bracelet from Tiffany’s are both pieces that my mom gave me for my university graduation. I lose so many worthless costume jewelry pieces but if I lose either of these I’ll be really sad.
3 pieces of jewelry is just enough for me. The watch is something I consider more of a bracelet, because who needs a watch nowadays? Thanks for reading, more soon.
I want this necklace so much but definitely couldn’t afford it… I’m putting it on my wishlist though! I would NOT be removing any batteries however.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!
The Rolex is beautiful.
Wow, what a gorgeous graduation present! Love the necklace too!

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is that a vibrator in necklace form?!
@Mai, not a dumb question at all! Yes it is! You twist the top down, and it starts vibrating. Twist it up and it stops.
This is the most brilliant re-appropriation of object use I have ever seen. I like the bullet reference but the fact that it’s actually a, ahem, private massager makes so appealing (and it’s so beautiful). I am not even into those things usually.
Beautiful packaging as well. This is crazy but sex objects can make interesting jewelry. I remember watching an interview with Gareth Pugh (http://videos.nymag.com/video/Paris-Fashion-Week-Gareth-Pugh) and he had this cool looking necklace on, even the interview asked him what it was–turns out it was actually a Japanese nipple clamp.
You never cease to amaze me.
Though I would be worried that someone might recognize your necklace as the sex toy that it is.
Hopefully they won’t comment and an awkward explanation won’t ensue.
@Pomeh, it would not be awkward at all, sex toys are quite normal esp in jaded metropolitan city.
GOOD VIBEZ.
fucking love it! so funny how its a vibrator- but i love how sleek it is
No offense, but if I saw someone walking down the street with that around their neck, my first thought would be “Is that person wearing a vibrator necklace?”
What a great piece!
You won’t be using it for its intended purpose?
Oh really now? *raises brows* *judging you*
I kid, I kid.
That device is cumming. I mean, cunning!
It actually reminds me of a vintage pen necklace, like Christina Hendrick’s character wears on Mad Men. With a naughtier little secret of course. I actually stumbled into the Boutique in Vegas and was surprised how subversive the brand is – you don’t really know you’re in a sex shop right away.
Hahah that’s cool but.. skanky too! In the cool way of course.. you’ve got style!

Everything looks fabulous!
this is exactly how i choose jewellery.
oh, your bracelet… beautiful!
Oh wow… i was wondering why would this require a battery and went to click on the website. now i know. interesting.
The Tiffany’s bracelet is so beautiful!
The thing that I love about KDM is exactly this. Beautiful styling with an edgy twist.
Speaking of re-appropriation of sex objets…Have you seen her chess *ahem* set? I’ve been lusting after it ever since I saw it. My girlfriend, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to understand wanting to spend such a hefty sum on a chess piece. The fact that it’s such a seemingly obvious multi-tasker escapes her. And brilliant art is priceless.
Oh well, in another life perhaps.
Love the necklace!
The first thing I thought when I saw the photo was “is that!!!!?!?!” then I thought no (I always look at the photo’s first, then go abck and read and look)
And it was!
But when I looked at the next post “errand outfit” to me it looks more liek a silver test tube. ofc I work in a lab and an a botany student, so my mind is a little more scientific then dirty lol
At first I was sure anyone seeing it would know, but now I don’t think so. And well, if they do recognize it, lets hope they haev a sense of humor.
(now, I want one. Sigh to be a poor student)
Gorgeous jewellery pieces! It’s quite amusing how the bullet shaped piece is used for other purposes but I love how you turned it around and made it your own.
LOL Awesome! I love how nice and classy looking it is
i know how you feel about your watch. i got a tag with a metal clasp when i was 14 and the day before i was going to the shop to clean it up, it just slipped off my hand and now it’s gone forever. i used to wear it everyday, and i aint joking when i say there are times when i feel so lost ::C
This is absolutely gorgeous! It sort of reminds me of the Incoqnito Droplet Necklace that I reviewed a while back: http://truepleasures.blogspot.com/2010/03/beautiful-jewelry-that-doubles-as-sex.html
