Polyamory Pride Flag
The Polyamory flag represents those who engage in, desire or practice romantic and or sexual relationships with more than one partner at a time with all partners involved consentually informed of the situation. Consent and trust is a foundational cornerstone for those who identify as polyamorous, whether they are in open or deep committed non-monogamous relationships or a closed polyamorous group engaging in polyfidelity.
The practice of polyamory emphasizes the beautiful idea that with consent and trust, it is possible to experience fulfilling, meaningful, sustainable and deep relationships without exclusivity.
The term polyamory comes from two words put together. Poly comes from the word πολύς which is polus in Ancient Greek and means "many". It's from this ancient greek word that the pie symbol comes from in the flag design by Jim Evans who created the Polyamory Pride Flag in 1995. The rest of the word comes from Amor which is the latin word for love. The flag colours are representative of the community with blue for the openness and honesty of all parties within the relationships, red for the love and passion shared and black for the solidarity of those who must hide their poly self and relationships from the rest of the world. The pie symbol represents the infinite options of partners available for polyamorous people, however there are alternative versions of this flag when in 2017 the pie symbol was replaced with the infinity hearts symbol.
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.
Polyamory Pride 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.
