ManAdorned My Wedding Band - A Custom Stainless Creation

I was so absolutely excited to work with Andrew at Himeros to produce my wedding band in practically indestructible tungsten carbide material that I became inspired. Working with Andrew and exchanging image proofs of the proposed designs via email, I became motivated take my 3D modelling skills to the next level. I’ve been a long time user of simple modeling tools like sketchup and OpenSCAD and even used them to create some adornments (examples: 1, 2, 3… but they have their limitations in terms of complexity and attractiveness. So I decided to learn how to model with Blender and FreeCAD and see how far my newfound skills could take me in my favorite hobby!

Blue Collar Fetish Wear Strap and Shaft Perfection

I make no secret about the fact that I adore combination adornments that feature cock and shaft encirclement. I am also extremely drawn to the black leather strap with a polished stainless ring combination because that was actually the second adornment I ever purchased! My first was a neoprene shaft ring at 1 1/4" which proved to be an intense entrypoint to the art given that it was at least 1/8" too small. But… I loved the effect and quickly became hooked, so sought the next level. I settled on a cheap faux leather strap that had a snap loop for the shaft ring and fell in love with the result.

Zebra Wood Ring

I’m always on the prowl for a new adornment and am especially fond of interesting or alternative materials. Of course, when I saw Broken Lance After Dark was offering adornments through their Etsy shop (among other adult toys), I had to pick one up.

The rings can be made from a number of different woods depending on your personal tastes. Because I wanted the grain of the wood to be on full display, I chose zebra wood - and the maker was willing to create the ring at a 1.875" inner diameter despite only listing 1.75" and 2" on the store front.

My Wedding Band - Sancus by Himeros

It is with great excitement that I share the results of a collaborative effort with Andrew at Himeros! As a discerning collector, I own practically every manner of adornment… but have always felt a desire for a special piece that I just couldn’t find out in the market. That missing piece of the collection is an adornment that matches my very own wedding band. Having been married for 17 years, I’ve worn a ring (the design was of my choosing) on my finger every day as a sign of dedication and love for my queen, so why not adorn myself elsewhere with the same design?

Himeros Athos

When Andrew at Himeros announced back in October/November that some new designs were available, I had to take a look. With the three new options out there, I decided that Athos would be my second Himeros ring after falling in love with himeros-proteus/.

As is the case with King Rings, Himeros rings are based on available designs for finger rings, but enlarged and tweaked to serve a greater purpose on your manhood. The attention to detail shows, of course. As an ultra-premium ring, Athos has a gently radiused inner profile as you would expect that flows into the bevel cut on the exterior of the ring. The finish is as smooth and flawless as is befitting a jewelry quality adornment. Similar to the Sea Dragon, the flat face features an inlay in which a clean palette is given to fill with various materials or designs. Utilizing this space, Athos is filled with a silver-colored metallic design that Himeros describes as resembling “solidified lava”. I enjoy this interpretation, but for some reason the word “moonstone” Just keeps coming to mind for me. In any event, it makes for a handsome and visually striking adornment.

Custom Black Jade and Green

As a fan of any adornment made of exotic materials, I become even more of a sucker for custom designs. Although I have experience with jade as a material for my adornments through repurposing bangles and other such items, it immediately drew my attention when I discovered that KayeeEthnic on Etsy offers custom-sized adornments specific to the art of manhood adornment. I had to have one.

This design features a generously portioned height and width to ensure that it does not dig in as the blood gets flowing. The inner profile is not radiused as is seen on other very comfortable rings, but this is much less of an issue given that the ring is less than half an inch in width. I’d have to say that the proportions of the design definitely fit the purpose as an adornment much more so than my repurposed jade bangles which have a tendency to cut/dig in. Makes sense given the purposes!

Schmuckcockring makes some really cool custom cock shields. These adornments, of course, surround your cock like any other ring would, but also extends above and below.

These charming gems provide an elegant way to end date night with your partner! With the supreme comfort one would expect from a shield like this, expect to love this shield.

Gear Essentials Hold

Gear Essentials (RIP) was always a forward thinking design shop. The Hold is an example of their clever design work. Precision cut from stainless steel, this cock/shaft/ball weight/cage traps all your business in its grasp. For my sizing, I went with the 1 7/8" cock ring with the 1 3/8" shaft opening. As a sucker for combination rings and cages, this fit was just what the doctor ordered - which comes as no surprise given the machining excellence of Gear Essentials over the year.

Glass Vibrations Faceted Glass Cock Ring

I’ve had some good luck on Etsy lately discovering interesting finds. As a sucker for alternative materials to your boring nickel-plated steel ring, this Glass Vibrations ring stood out immediately thanks to the faceted cut on the outside and the charming black glass material.

It took me a while to commit to purchasing this ring, though - the cost of the ring is spot-on and worth every dime… but the cost to ship from Saarbrücken, Germany to the Midwest US was almost twice the cost of the unit. I confirmed that wasn’t a listing error with Giovannina via Etsy messenger. In retrospect, given that Glass Vibrations deals primarily in glass units, shipping and packaging must be done carefully to avoid a broken piece from showing up.

Himeros Proteus

This half a pound of gorgeous comes to you from Himeros Jewelery. I discovered Himeros through Etsy and quickly contacted Andrew to say hello (and inquire about some custom options - he can do that, too!). He got back to me quickly and through conversation it is clear that he is passionate about what he’s doing as he builds his business. Based out of Europe, Himeros offers ultra premium cock rings. As far as I know right now, the only manufacturers offering tungsten carbide rings are Scott at King Rings and Andrew at Himeros… so we’re working with prime stock to begin with.
