IUD Earrings Featured on Last Week Tonight

Last Week Tonight is a hilarious, informative, and often controversial satirical late night news program on HBO. That's a lot of adjectives. It's also a really good television program. I usually DVR it on Sunday so I can watch it Monday morning.

This morning I received a message from a customer that one of my designs was used doing a segment on the show. Which design? See for yourself around 12 minutes and 30 seconds into the segment.

Those are definitely our vintage steel IUD earrings! They are available on our Etsy store for $25 + shipping. Here's a link. Ten percent of the the profits from every sale from our collection of IUD jewelry goes to Planned parenthood.

These earrings are 3D printed in bronze infused steel and have nickel free hooks. They are also available in cast metal and nylon.

Why did we make these IUD Earrings? The 2016 election. On November 9th by noon on the day after the election, Google searches for IUDs were spiking—one of the most popular search terms overnight was, “Get an IUD now.”

These IUD earrings were made to be worn to show that any changes Trump and the GOP might make negatively effecting women's reproductive issues would be met with protest. It's a small thing but small things can lead to big changes - both political parties believe that. You know where we stand.

Thank you Last Week Tonight and thank you John Oliver for highlighting the importance of women’s reproductive freedom. And also thanks for using our IUD earrings to illustrate the point!

IUD Earrings At Women’s Marches

Several of the IUD Earrings I designed were worn at Women's Marches across the country.

One of my customers was kind enough to send me some photos with her wearing her IUD Earrings while she participated in the March in Washington!

I'm very proud that something I made was at such a momentous and historic event. The photos made my day. Thank you Katherine for being in Washington and sharing your experience with me!

I also now offer these earrings in a multitude of colors! They are made from laser sintered dyed nylon and finished with stainless steel nickel free hooks and a jump ring. These bright colored IUD earrings also support women's reproductive rights.

Like ALL the jewelry in my IUD COLLECTION, at least 10% of all profit will go to Planned Parenthood. These donations are sent over quarterly.

IUD Earrings and Pendants

IUD Pendant in .925 Sterling Silver

I decided to make these IUD pendants and earrings soon after Donald Trump won the US presidential election. I still can't believe I wrote the second half of that sentence.

By noon on the day after the election, Google searches for IUDs were spiking—one of the most popular search terms overnight was, “Get an IUD now.” [source]

This isn't a real IUD but it can be worn to protest Trump and any changes he might make that affect women's reproductive issues. If men could get pregnant then the morning after pill would be free and come in chocolate flavor and IUD's would be cross-sold with Budweiser.

Let women control their own bodies.

I can't believe that in this day and age I even had the write that previous sentence at all.

IUD Earrings in .925 Sterling Silver

People are suggesting that if you want to be sure you’ll have birth control for the next four years, you should book your IUD insertion appointment before January 20th. That’s because January will bring a new political era, and possibly changes in how insurance companies cover birth control.[source]

You don't need an appointment to get one of these:

IUD Earrings

IUD Pendant

Prices range from $25 and up depending on the material.

I am pledging to donate a 10% of the profits I make from the sale of any of these IUD designs to Planned Parenthood. I hope that you also will show your support for women's issues buy purchasing these designs, donating to planned parenthood, or writing to your representatives.
