Carabiner CrossBar™ Element

What may look like a simple everyday object carries a deeper story of connection, community, and visibility. The Carabiner CrossBar™ Element pays tribute to a symbol that became a subtle way for many lesbians and queer individuals to recognize one another. Often worn clipped to a belt loop, the carabiner evolved into a quiet form of self-expression and belonging within the LGBTQ+ community. Inspired by the iconic carabiner, this Element captures the look and symbolism of the original. While it won't open and close like a traditional carabiner, it carries something even more meaningful: a story of connection, community, and pride. Minimalist yet meaningful, this piece honors the power of being seen, finding your people, and carrying your identity with confidence. Sometimes the smallest symbols tell the biggest stories. Community Note: From concept to camera, this Element was brought to life by members of the LGBTQIA+ community. This element is NOT a functioning carabiner Available in silver and gold. NOTE: This product includes an element only. Make sure you have a ring band to put it on in your cart too!
