Custom Black Jade and Green

December 28, 2022

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!

FRKK Curved Cock and Shaft Trainer Cage

December 28, 2022

Similar to the flat trainer cage already in the collection, this adornment increases the comfort factor by leveraging the ubiquitous curved band design that has made its way into most Chinese adornment inventories.

An important difference between this model and the other models in the collection is the fact that the shaft ring is a generous 1 1/2". This is a welcome change from the 1 1/4" shaft of the other model. Knowing one’s size is important with any metal ring - doubly so if you are doubling the constriction by use of a cock and shaft ring. In this case, the 1 3/4" cock ring leads to an intense erection that perfectly fits the 1 1/2" shaft. This makes sense given my usual size for a shaft ring is 1 3/8" - the thicker erection from the cock ring better fills the shaft.

Ballistic Metal Trax

December 28, 2022

Another quality design from Ballistic Metal, the Trax is a “chunky” aluminum ring sharing the raw aluminum finish found on several other models. Similar to the raptor in design, the ring has a rectangular profile with the full outer profile notched with grooves from front to back. If looking closely, one can see that the grooves almost appear threaded due to the tool marks as they were cut into the body. For me, this enhances the look, but stands in contrast to the Raptor which has smooth cut notches (albeit far fewer than Trax).

Schmuckcockring Priapus Gemmed Shield

November 20, 2022

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. This adds lots of visual interest by really drawing attention to your member but also serves the added benefit of reducing pinching of no mans land while seated.

Sergey once again delivers on a beautiful, custom sized stainless ring all the way from Hamburg, Germany. This particular adornment features divots in which crystal gems have been set. 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

November 20, 2022

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

November 20, 2022

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.

Gear Essentials Strut Small

November 20, 2022

A quintessential Gear Essentials release, the strut is a narrower stainless ring than what one would see with the Torque. Because of the narrower profile at only .4", the strut doesn’t have the space for a comfort fit interior - though it’s not strictly necessary at this size. As with all Gear Essentials adornments, this ring is machined to exact tolerances with the caliper confirming that the shop is always exact in their craft. While one would think the non rounded interior and relatively “sharp” outer profile would be uncomfortable, this was not my experience… though I would indeed hesitate to wear the Strut under tighter pants that would encourage pinching!

Himeros Proteus

October 12, 2022

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.

Magicare Mamba Zero Cage Ring

October 11, 2022

This comfortable chastity “trainer” is available from AliExpress from the Magicare brand. The adornment, like similar “trainers” from Chaste Bird, features a collection of firm plastic base cock rings and an oval shaped shaft ring. The shaft ring is about 1.25" x 1.45" which lands at a nearly perfect shaft ring size of 1.35" for me (my preference is 1.375).

What is different from my other “trainer” cage rings is how this one attaches the base and shaft rings. The attachment, being plastic, if more than the tired “pin and mating hole” design most steel cages use which leads to lots of pinches and sometimes rattling. Instead, it uses a formed mating surface which avoids rattling when mated and encourages far less pinching.
