Hi you girls out there! If your lover wants to buy you a gift, would you like a bunch of roses which is beautiful but won’t last long, or some roses that would be always by your side and could keep you safe? Definitely the latter one, am I right? LOL and I bet you would ask how roses could protect you instead of a knight in shining armor. Well~ Let me introduce these special roses to you~

Yes! A pair of sterling rose stud earrings with high-tech designs(Draft as follows):

  1. Tiny light bulb in the middle of the bud, emitting super strong light when it is necessary.
  2. Having battery and bluetooth transmitter at the back of the roses, which could track your location.
  3. Flexible handle at the end of the earrings that you can switch to activate different defense modes.

What they are for and how to use?

When you walk along the street in the dark and feel threatened or being stalked by someone with malicious intentions……

Please calm down and let these roses help you:

  1. If the malicious guy trys to attack you in front of your face, first:

The light the earrings give out could get the malicious guy blind for a while.

2. You can seize this moment and try to run as fast as you can, while don’t forget to turn on the GPS and allow other people know where you are.

3. Finally, press the bud to activate bluetooth to allow your phone to send emergency signal to nearest police station.

Why I want to create this kind of earrings?

In 2018, a lot of celebrities and elites in China (including an anti-discrimination campaigner, an environmentalist, three well-known journalists, an academic, two badminton coaches, and one of the most watched television hosts) have been accused of sexual assault or harassment during the Me Too movement. Having seen many women came out to support each other with their stories, I really want to do something to empower these people and let them feel secured under any circumstances.
