My brand is very personal to me.

I have been making accessories since I was 14 years-old. Also, it is my way of expressing my queer and non-binary identity. Before the pandemic, I would sell at drag, cabaret, and burlesque shows.

Twenty percent of my sales would go to support the producers and performers of each show.

I like to share with my customers that Prince Peacock is a drag queen from the bird-y kingdom that likes to sell jewelry to humans. My logo is a peacock with a little crown on it’s head. People really enjoy that. Especially when I give out my stickers with my logo on it.

Also, I try to make everything!

I even use vintage salvage for my displays that are then restructured and painted.
