alternative self defense device

Wasp Spray Necklace
Pepper spay is restricted in New York. But a little research shows that wasp spray is an efficient alternative.
This gave me the idea for this perfume bottle necklace. The bottle's shape is inspired by the form of a wasp nest, plus carrying it around your neck makes it fast and easy to reach and use.
The function of a piece of jewelry has been transformed from the traditional ornamentation to the useful purpose of self protection.

These are only a sketch model and some drawings, the final piece would be in ceramic and gold.
What do you think?

  3. I love the shape and the idea - it is so innovative - so Mimi Vert! I am also not sure about the size...it might be easier to wear if it is smaller..

  4. Great, great idea!!! I want one, need one! Pa' la Uipi, que los peppers spray son horribles y poco prácticos! Jeje Estoy de acuerdo con los comentarios anteriores a lo mejor un poco más pequeño.
