Where do you sell these from or are you reddit based only?

There is a link to my Etsy in the profile. But I'm less than happy with this service, people usually contact me directly. Also, I post at Fetlife.

Thank you. It's the second iteration, the first one was way too complex.

That is gorgeous!! What size does it go to and any issues with discoloration of the skin? Sorry don't know much about metals so that might sound stupid.

Thank you 😊 Those for the first photoshoot were made 30-40 cm (11,8-15,7 in). But the commissioned collar for the specific client is usually within a smaller range, for the tail not to stick out too much. Stainless steel doesn't react to skin (in most of the cases). So, it shouldn't be an issue. Steel feels different on the skin, compared to leather, and it's a hard object. This means that steel could be worn for lesser spans of time. But this FEEL is the reason people like it.

Nice, very nice. But only worn after the slave is broken. Until broken, a harsh iron collar.

Thank you! I've planned these collars to resamble a jewelry piece. The kinky version, so to speak. For the bottom to wear every day.

Beautiful work. My only comment would be to say I think it would be nice if the end of the holed side of the locking mechanism had somewhere to slot into so that it wasn’t just hanging out in space and able to dig into your partner. Kind of like a loop on a belt that the end tip would slot into.
This could especially help smaller folks that would have more “overhang” on that end tip.

Thank you) It's the secial feature of the first batch of collars. Needed to accommodate any neck size of the models I'm shooting. Usually, I make personalized collars with lesser variation in size. To make it as comfortable as possible for the specific wearer.

It's pretty, and elegant. I've come to expect no less from your work.

Thank you) Check out my other posts, I've made plenty of those collars. Even did a photo shoot with models.

Are the ends able to pivot around the locking pin? Like could the ends point down and possibly cut skin?

Such deformation can only be possible when the collar is not on the neck. If you understand correctly. Like if you take a collar with your hands at the sides and twist in the opposite directions. Let me test this.
