Jewelry designer jobs3/17/2023 Since Vesper's first release in 2014, I am grateful that it has been able to reach a wide audience while becoming an icon of sex positivity and self-love. I was sensitive to the fact that the experience of jewelry was one that makes people feel beautiful and respected, and so I tapped into that moment to create pleasure jewelry beginning in 2008. I have always been a sensitive person and the feeling of shame and embarrassment surrounding products for pleasure and the lack of elevated products didn't help to lessen that stigma for me either. Vesper is proof that some experiences need to be felt with the heart because no amount of logic or customer surveys would have arrived at the idea of a vibrator necklace. Ti Chang, Co-Founder and Chief Design Officer at CRAVE (Photo credit: Jenny Red) What does the Vesper in particular mean to you as a designer of pleasure products? In celebration of of CRAVE's latest release, we chatted with Chang about the importance of Vesper within the company's product family, and what it means to be an activist designer: The Vesper stands as one of CRAVE's most beloved products, and Chang is extremely proud of the symbol it holds for women trying to have better conversations around sex-she notes that "the success of Vesper validates that the feeling I had of wanting a beautiful experience in products for pleasure was in fact, shared by a lot of other people, that they also want products that they are not ashamed of.that wearing a statement necklace or cuffs as a symbol of sexual empowerment makes them feel seen and empowered in a way other products do not." An avid activist-slash-designer, she also sees Vesper as a radical product because it addresses an overlooked challenge within design: women's pleasure. Launched this week in a campaign on Kickstarter, The Vesper 2 comes with a number of vibration speeds, including a unique wave pattern update. In honor of Vesper's rise throughout the years, CRAVE released the Vesper 2 in a new rose gold and sleek black steel colorway, as well as a re-release of their classic gold. But it's not the celebrity nods that Chang would count as her greatest achievement in design-it's the ability to help all women start important conversations and advocate for their pleasure proudly. And she definitely couldn't have guessed years later that she could count Gwyneth Paltrow and even the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna, as avid fans (Madonna has even gone as far to say if she could only wear one item for the rest of her life, it'd be her Vesper). Years later, she is still in awe of the excitement fans have for the Vesper vibrator necklace she first designed for her company CRAVE in 2014. "When I started designing pleasure jewelry, I honestly did not know if anyone would ever wear it," designer Ti Chang admits. In Crowdfunding | Health Wellness | Social Impact
