Beautiful Submission: Review of Eternity Collars’ Titanium Eternity Cuff and Master Key

Collars are a big deal in the kink community. While they are one of the most common toys someone might own, they are also a unique symbol of the transfer that takes place in a power exchange relationship; a visible and constant reminder both to the submissive and others that the submissive is spoken for.

When power exchange is confined to play, leather collars are a good choice. They are comfortable yet noticeable, can be worn for long periods of time, can be used as a restraint or with a leash, and can be seen from across the room. For those of us whom the relationship continues outside of the bedroom, options are limited when it comes to having something we can constantly wear around. There are few workplaces where a leather collar would be considered acceptable, no matter how elegant. Even outside of the workplace there are plenty of circumstances where you could wear a leather collar that would still be inappropriate: picking your kids up from school, holidays with families, etc. What’s a kinky person to do?

Fortunately, companies such as Eternity Collars have recognized this need and created collars and cuffs that can be worn every day and in any venue. These pieces of locking jewelry are made from solid metal and are secured with a screw (or screws) that require a tool to remove but can still be put on or removed in seconds.

The products sent to us for review were a medium Titanium Eternity Cuff and a Master Key. Both arrived in felt bags inside of a discreet, decorative box. Also included were two Allen wrenches for the locking screw, and two extra screws (though I didn’t like that these extra screws were black instead of silver like the screw included with the cuff).

Titanium Eternity Cuff

My first thought when picking the cuff up was amazement at how light it was. I’ve handled several similar cuffs made out of steel, and the weight difference is quite noticeable. While I know plenty of people who are happy with steel jewelry, I imagine the weight makes a significant difference in long term comfort; particularly in a bonier area like the wrist.

I’ve now been wearing the cuff for four weeks and am quite impressed with it. For one thing, it looks great. I work in an environment where I have to wear a suit and tie every day. This cuff is more than classy enough to wear in a formal environment, and it has garnered some compliments.

Second, it’s durable. I’ve worn it working, exercising, and doing a ridiculous amount of construction on my house. While it has picked up some minor scuffs and scratches it still looks great. It’s been taken on and off a few times, and the hinge still has zero play.

A few other things I’ve noticed:

1. Sizing is important when using any kind of rigid restraint (which this is when you get right down to it). There is a sizing guide on Eternity Collar’s site. I suggest you read it closely, and when in doubt size up. I wore the bracelet we were using before on my right wrist, and had to move the cuff to my left (slightly smaller) wrist for comfort.
2. Carry an extra key. While the thought of not being able to remove the cuff yourself is erotic, it’s going to suck when you need it off and don’t have a key. Metal detectors, having to reach into tight spaces (like fishing wires through walls), and injuries are just a few reasons you might need the ability to remove the cuff on short notice. I’ve carried a spare around in my wallet where it has sat forgotten except for the one time I’ve needed it.
3. It will take some getting used to. I’m not used to wearing jewelry, and I have somewhat bony wrists. There is definitely an adjustment period with a rigid cuff. My experience with rigid restraints leads me to believe that there is probably somewhat more of an adjustment period with an ankle cuff, and somewhat less of one with a collar.
4. The screw can be removed in either direction, but only goes in from one side. If it’s not going in easily, put the screw on the other side of the cuff. It should screw in with little resistance.

Beautiful, tough, and light, this is everything I would want in a cuff. Size conservatively, carry an extra key, and realize there might be an adjustment period. 

Master Key

Eternity Collars’ Master Key is the end of an Allen key concealed in a silver metal oval; the key is revealed by unscrewing the top and bottom halves. It has a hoop at the top for securing to a key ring or another item. While it is solidly designed and works well, I was disappointed with the look (which reminds me of a bullet vibe). I have seen other collar/cuff keys that are attractive enough to double as pieces of jewelry, and many Dominants wear them as a symbol of their role in the power exchange relationship. While I recommend buying the Master Key since it’s easy to hook to your keys and hard to lose, I would love to see Eternity Collars come out with a more aesthetic alternative.

Though solid and functional, this key is more at home on your key chain then around your neck.

Overall, I highly recommend this vendor. Eternity Collars also sells other collars and cuffs in a variety of materials, finishes, and styles; along with accessories such as tags. You can check out their products on their website.
