Bracelet love

This bracelet makes me feel super whole and full of self love! ❤️

Perfect Fit for your favorite "Good Girl"

Loved it....was a little concerned about the length of the chain, but it fell exactly where I wanted it - good quality, great price, and the perfect way to tell the world that your sub is a 'good girl' -- especially in rose gold. Thanks team for carrying this piece!

Simple n suttle

Love it.

So beautiful

This is the first collar I’ve ever purchased and I bought it as a gift to myself as a demonstration of self-ownership and love ☺️ it is better than I could have hoped for. It feels so nice and is gorgeous. I love wearing it.

Love it!

Love the collars, they are beautifully crafted and she doesn’t want to stop wearing them.
