This corresponds to an inner diameter of 16.5–18.4 mm.\u003cbr\u003e Determining the size: Measure the inner diameter of your best-fitting ring using a ruler or calipers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e If the ring is opened further, the resulting tensions can cause the gemstone to come loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Unique and meaningful: The VULVA GEMS silver jewelry series by Himal Hemp and Vulvarium with real casts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eVULVA GEMS stem from the same fundamental idea as the vulva posters or the vulva coloring book: the destigmatization and normalization of dealing with gender issues, as a basis for the lofty goal of achieving the greatest possible gender equality. The vulva products encourage reflection and engagement with one's own body and self-perception. The resulting external dialogue, in turn, fosters understanding for others. This growing awareness and knowledge of one's own body and those of others is intended to reduce tension within society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe jewelry concept is based on a window display by Himal Hemp in Graz, which features numerous statues of various real vulvas in a non-sexualized context: a real eye-catcher in the middle of the public sphere. Alongside displays about privilege or (including sexual) violence prevention, it sparks many fruitful discussions about gender(s) on a daily basis. It can be observed that these conversations are not particularly controversial, but rather constructive: the natural diversity of the human body is acknowledged, and topics associated with \"shame\" and taboos can be addressed and discussed. This includes, for example, unrealistic beauty ideals that need to be reconsidered, as they can sometimes lead to self-harming behavior. One such example is the already common practice among some people of having their labia surgically \"perfected\" without medical necessity. \u003cbr\u003eThis and much more is what we aim to achieve with a focus on gender equality. Spoiler alert: We also intend to represent the remaining genders, from female to male and all those in between and beyond, in an aesthetically pleasing and desexualized context.

Once cured, this resin is harmless to humans and the environment and is even biodegradable.\u003cbr\u003e We would like to thank Mathias Fleisch, doctoral candidate at the Polymer Competence Center Leoben, for the technical product development including suitable printing process and material. \u003cbr\u003eThe sterling silver parts (925 fineness) are sourced from European suppliers and firmly attached to the vulva gemstones using a bending technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Care instructions\u003cbr\u003e Silver oxidizes slowly in air. The non-toxic dark patina can be easily rubbed off with a little toothpaste and a toothbrush.\u003cbr\u003e The gemstones will not scratch under normal handling. Any roughened white spots, for example from rubbing against a sharp object or a rough surface, can be easily polished away. A short, firm rub with your thumb is sufficient.\u003cbr\u003e The gemstone can be cleaned with soap and water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e PLASTIC-FREE PACKAGING\u003cbr\u003e The VULVA GEMS are packaged in small boxes made of recycled cardboard; the foam insert under a layer of felt is made of suitable recycled material.

Production is handled by Himal Hemp in Graz, Austria.\u003cbr\u003e The enclosed product information, like the product packaging, is made from recycled pulp; even the foam has been replaced with suitable recycled material.

The silver items can be sold to relevant authorities for this purpose.\u003cbr\u003e The gemstones are mineral oil-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e CO2-saving \u003cbr\u003eThe gemstones are manufactured in Austria using modern, energy-efficient 3D printers.
