This exquisite piece, crafted with lavish silver, elevates the safety pin, a motif that has been a signature of the brand since its inception, into a valuable piece of jewelry. It can be worn around the waist or on a bag as a key chain, or attached to earrings, necklaces, clothing, scarves, and more for a custom look. Available in three sizes: S, M, and L. DIRECTOR’S VOICE Why JAM HOME MADE is so committed to the safety pin. The safety pin motif is a symbol of 1970s punk culture. In the context of the close relationship between fashion and music, as seen in acts like the Sex Pistols, Vivienne Westwood, and Malcolm McLaren, the safety pin was used as a tool for anti-establishment, DIY, and subversion. By intentionally ripping up clothing and fastening it with safety pins, people rejected social order and established conventions, and it became a symbol of the craft spirit of "creating your own style"—DIY, in other words, punk. Forty years have passed since then, and with the 2016 UK withdrawal from the EU (Brexit), the 2016 US presidential election, and the election of Donald Trump, the #safetypin movement has seen the pin become a silent sign of empathy for immigrants, minorities, and the vulnerable. Wearing a safety pin has once again become a widespread trend, and the safety pin, once interpreted as a symbol of rebellion and self-expression, has been reinterpreted and redefined as a tool for mending wounds, sparking dialogue, reconnecting, and protecting. JAM HOME MADE is committed to the safety pin. Not as an attack, but as a start to dialogue. Not as a tool of violence, but of care. This is an accessory for reconnecting, not for destruction. Understanding the context of the past, this is an important conceptual motif that expresses the gentle strength needed today.
