Knockout is a new jewelry line that sits on the intersection of fashion and self defense, offering subtle but protective pieces that can help women feel safer in public. While many self defense weapons are made specifically for women, most are noticeable, large, hard to maneuver, or potentially dangerous for the user.
These aesthetically pleasing pieces serve a dual-purpose, sitting unobtrusively on the finger while providing piece of mind that its intentionally sharp edges can protect in an emergency. The sleek rings are chic and easily accessible, helping the wearer to feel safer as they go about their day. The rings arrive in multiple style and material offerings, like gold or silver, making for an aesthetically pleasing choice.
