Intersex Pride Flag
The Intersex Pride Flag represents individuals who have been born with one or more traits that don't fit typical male or female patterns within their genitals, hormones, chromosomes or internal organs. This variation occurs naturally in human biology.
This pride flag was created and launched in 2013 by Morgan Carpenter who at the time was the cochair of Intersex Human Rights Australia. Designed to be a flag "that is not derivative but is yet firmly grounded in meaning" it features a yellow background with a purple circle on it. The circle represents completeness and wholeness and the colours chosen are seen as gender neutral.
The Pride Fritillary Drop Studs.
Designed to be cute and delicate in appearance, these adorable little studs are designed from the lower butterfly wings of the critically endangered fritillary butterfly. This design is truer to the actual butterfly's wing markings as the canvas allows for the super thin delicate black markings to overlay the gorgeous pride flag colours blended into the wings. I hope these cute little studs, give you wings to fly your colours with PRIDE.
Intersex Fritillary Earring Studs
These are designed to be durable, but as they are handmade, please treat them with love and care.
Clean them with water. For a deep clean, use warm soapy water and patt dry with a towel.
18k Gold plating should be kept clean of moisturizers, creams, chemicals and perfumes so use the enclosed cleaning cloth to keep it tarnish free.
If you bend or crease them, press them in your hands until they warm up! The multiple varnishes and sealants make them malleable when slightly warmed (do not iron or overheat)
Avoid scratching them agaisnt abrasive or sharp surfaces and store them away from sunlight. Store them next to one another, not ontop of eachother. See the Blog for more Details.
