Crave first launched the Vesper back in 2014. At the time, the world had never seen anything like this vibrator necklace, and because of its originality, it garnered fans worldwide.
When I first got my hands on one shortly after Vesper hit the market, I was blown away by the concept. Slick and sophisticated, Vesper wasn’t simply about looks. It was a symbol of sex positivity, a reminder that owning our sexual pleasure is an essential facet of being human—plus it's a great conversation starter. It also made me feel like I belonged to a private club, especially if I ran into someone else rocking one around their neck. From the moment I slipped it on, I was in love and wore it all the time.
Now we have the Vesper 2—born out of a Kickstarter campaign in late 2022 and officially launched in the summer of 2023. When it arrived at my doorstep, I had mixed feelings. Could it live up to my expectations? How could Crave upgrade something that was already close to perfection? Well, let me just say if you’re a fan of the original Vesper, you’ll love this one too.
Intense Upgrade
Visually, there’s no difference between Vesper and Vesper 2. Both products are the same size, shape, and weight, meaning the second generation is just as elegant as the original. Your color options are monochrome black, rose gold, and the same 24-karat gold plating option as its predecessor. One new thing is the Vesper 2 is fully submersible, and that’s great news for those of us who constantly forget to remove their jewelry before getting into the shower.
While both the Vesper and Vesper 2 have four vibration intensities to choose from, the pattern setting on the newer model is now a wave-like sensation as opposed to the original's pulsing. I usually have no interest in patterns, but the wave is better than the pulse, if only because it’s a continuous sensation whereas the pulse felt like someone playing staccato on my clit.
Where Vesper 2 stands out is in its intensity. Granted, my original Vesper is 10 years old at this point, so I imagine some of the magic has been lost, but using them both back-to-back (it’s called due diligence!), the Vesper 2 is significantly stronger. Thanks to its shape, it’s perfect for precise stimulation of not only the clitoris, but also nipples, perineum, frenulum, or other specific external spots on the body that love a good buzz.
In fact, on the highest intensity, the Vesper 2 doesn’t even have to be directly on whatever erogenous zone you’re looking to stimulate because it sends vibrations that run deep enough to result in an orgasm—at least that was my experience when I was experimenting with direct versus nondirect contact around my vulva. This can be a great technique for anyone who has a sensitive clitoris or body parts that can’t handle too much stimulation.
Plain Sight
As I said in my review of Unbound Flick, jewelry is for everyone. Jewelry is a fun way to express yourself and decorate your body, and it can make people feel more attractive and confident.
