Jewelry that also functions as a vibrator has historical roots, with indications that such practices might have existed since ancient Rome, where creativity in the realm of sexual pleasure was notable. However, it was the introduction of the Crave Vesper in 2014—a necklace featuring a mini vibrator designed to stimulate erogenous zones—that marked the evolution of jewelry as functional vibrators into a recognized product category. This development generated widespread interest among consumers who sought to incorporate it into their collections of personal items.
A decade after the Crave Vesper’s market entry, Unbound has introduced a new iteration of this concept with their product, Flick. This piece is a striking statement ring designed to coincide with the centennial celebration of the cocktail ring and to honor the cultural transformations of the 1920s. The Flick serves as a tribute to the era’s spirit of bold expression and exploration of self-expression, reflecting the challenges women faced during that time in asserting their individuality and rights.
Unbound is already known for its thoughtful packaging, and Flick is no exception. The presentation of the product includes minimalist design elements, featuring only two colors—turquoise and pink—to enhance its visual appeal. The packaging also includes additional items such as nail art stickers and a postcard signed by the team responsible for the product, contributing to a welcoming and right-feeling unboxing experience.
While a full charge was required before Flick could be utilized as a vibrator, its role as a piece of jewelry was immediately accessible. The ring offers versatility with four interchangeable band sizes, which can be adjusted using a provided screwdriver, ensuring a perfect fit for a range of users.
