How to use it
-
Wear it closest to the throat. This is the base layer a stack is built on, not the finish.
-
Keep the rest of the stack quiet. Plain chain, one long drop — nothing that argues with six colors.
-
Set the length before the mirror lies to you. 16 inches reads punk; 18.5 reads romantic. Same piece.
-
Good against a bare neckline. The crystal spacers need light between the stones to do their job.
-
Last on, first off. Put it on after perfume and hairspray, take it off before you wash.

✨ Temple Tip — the difference between Paint Pot and Fang
Both are Punk Rocks layering chokers in the same 16–18.5 inch range, and the palette is identical. Paint Pot is strung between crystals, which opens the piece up and lets light through; Fang runs the stones tighter and darker. If you want the colorway to read from across a room, take Fang. If you want it to read up close, take this one.
Questions we get asked
How is this different from the Fang choker?
Same colorway and same adjustable length. Paint Pot is strung between crystals, giving it more space and more light between stones; Fang is the denser, harder-edged reading of the same palette.
Are the stones vintage?
They are 1960s dead-stock glass — original period stock, unused, sourced and reassembled by hand.
Will mine match the photograph exactly?
Closely, not identically. The stones are hand-sorted from finite stock, so the arrangement of the six colors shifts between pieces.
What length should I choose?
There is no choice to make — the chain adjusts from 16 to 18.5 inches, so you set it each time you wear it.
Can I sleep or shower in it?
No. Oxidized silver is a surface finish and water, soap and friction will wear it unevenly.
Care & wear: Store dry and away from direct light. Keep away from perfume, hairspray, chlorine and household cleaners — plating and oxidized finishes are surface treatments and will wear with contact. Clean with a soft dry cloth only. Nickel-free and hypoallergenic as supplied by the maker. An adornment and a ritual object — no outcome is promised. Stone and crystal associations described here are traditions of association, not claims of physical or psychological effect, and nothing here is medical advice.
The gold-plated version turns the same collision warm. For a quieter Paint Pot, the plain Paint Pot choker drops the crystal setting and keeps only the prismatic glass. Both sit in Necklaces & Malas.
A collision, held at the throat, on purpose. #TempleOfDesire
