Welcome To ArtisXan!
About:
ArtisXan is a small business owned and operated by queer, disabled, neurodivergent, trans individuals. We sell a wide range of items, including discreet and fun chewlrey made of body-safe silicone intended for use by teens and adults.
Xan has been crafting since they were in middle school. They shifted focus from knitting to digital art. The chewelry business started when Xan found that having a body-safe silicone necklace was a great way to help them stop biting their nails, but could only find bulky designs that stood out. They used their own style to start assembling necklaces that were subtle and matched their aesthetic while still providing the physical stimulus of the larger designs. Since then, they have expanded from necklaces and bracelets to keychains, zipper pulls, and pens.

This chart shows just some of the beads we have! The Squish and Durability chart is a good way to determine what bead is best for your fidget style. The higher the durability, the better the bead holds up to biting.
[ID: An illustrated chart showing lineless art of a range of beads in rows on 2 scales of 1 to 10. The first scale is labeled "Squish Scale", with a box reading "1- Most Squishy 5- Medium Squish 10- Most Firm", and the second is labeled "Durability Scale" with a box reading "1-Least Durable 5- Medium 10- Most Durable". /id]

They, He, She, Ze, Fae, Fey, Ve, Ey, Zie, and custom pronouns
These are especially useful for people who need items to fidget with, pick at, chew, squish, pull, or stretch! All the chewelry is made using materials that can be cleaned and are body-safe. Any item can still be a choking hazard, so these are not intended for young children or individuals who may be at risk for swallowing objects.
Are these chewable?
Yes! All of the beads we use on the fidget chewelry are made from food-grade silicone and can safely be chewed!
Where can I buy these?
You can find all of them on Xan's Etsy store! It is under the same name as their TikTok and Instagram (ArtisXan)! Their work is also in physical stores in Wisconsin.
Can I use these even if I'm not diagnosed, or am not neurodivergent?
Absolutely! Chewelry is not limited to any specific need or diagnosis. You can wear it just because you like the way it looks, or feels!
Do you make the beads yourself?
With two exceptions, our beads come from other suppliers. We don't have the facilities to make our own beads. We buy them from a combination of distributors and also directly from manufacturers. However, we did run a kickstarter to make two custom beads in collaboration with an artist who works with body-safe silicone! These are the morel mushrooms and the moon phase beads.
Are the other designs yours?
Yes! The stickers, art prints, pins, and other items are designed by Xan!
Can you make custom pieces?
We can customize some of our items, yes! We are happy to work with people to make pieces they'll be happy with, such as personalized pronoun chewelry! We are restricted to the beads we have and the prices may vary but we will always do our best to find what works best for you!
Will you ever make [insert bead shape here]?
We work hard to find pieces that suit Xan's brand and what people request! But we can only make things that manufacturers have created so we have a somewhat limited scope of options. However we are always looking for new beads and frequently find ones that hadn't been out before!
Why is [insert piece] more expensive?
Some of the beads we use are more expensive than others and so to offset the price we have to adjust the price a bit! We do our best to make sure that all the pieces are still within an affordable range for as many people as possible! And we do weekly giveaways to give more people a chance to get pieces even if they can’t afford them.
Can you make it without the small bead at the bottom or string it differently than shown?
Absolutely! Feel free to leave a note when you purchase to let us know you'd prefer a knot at the end, or for the main bead to be strung sideways without a knot or bead below it!
Why are are some of the pride necklaces different than the flags?
Some flags use so many colors, or so many shades of the same color, that we can't get enough of the beads to make the flag exactly, or to make the flag at all! For the Sunset Lesbian Pride and Aromantic pride, we have not been able to find body-safe beads that match the rest and come in different shades of orange, pink, and green, so some colors get combined for those designs. We keep an eye out for bead colors though!
Why don't you have a pride flag/pronoun necklace for [blank]?
Either we haven't had anyone request them, no one bought them when we did sell them, or they are ones we can't feasibly make. For example, we love the Progress Pride Flag but if we tried to make it we would run out of space for all the colors and it would be way too expensive for people to buy! (We do have a Progress Pride focus bead though!)
You can always contact us if there is a pronoun you want to use, or to ask if we could make a flag. We are willing to try!
What kind of bead should I get?
It depends what you want to use it for! The higher durability beads are best for biting and can take more heavy-duty fidgeting. Squishy beads are better for twisting and pinching. Textured beads are good for picking and rubbing.
How often do you make new designs?
We release new items and themes on a regular basis. Patreon and Discord users can get previews of what is coming out soon, and even suggest ideas. The chewelry depends on what we can source, but we continue to look for new beads. Xan designs stickers and other art frequently, and now that we have had a successful kickstarter we are open to the idea of making more unique beads.

We have another Kickstarter! The first custom beads made from Xan's designs went really well, and we are excited to show off the acorn and moth designs next!
The acorn is all one piece, with indents to create the textured top. It is strung through the top of the cap down to the base, so it hangs correctly.
The moth has several potential color combinations depending on how the kickstarter goes, including a Luna moth and a Rosy moth!
These will add to the morel mushroom and moon phase beads Xan designed and worked with a beadmaker to bring to life!

"Unique, nature-themed fidget jewelry designed by ArtisXan!"
I'm very excited, my friend's business is doing a kickstarter! They have never done custom beads before. It's a small business, only 3 people, but they have been getting more popular! Even if you aren't interested in the kickstarter, they have lots of other things to check out. Necklaces, bracelets, stickers, keychains, skate accessories, pins, earrings, and pens.
The stickers are all designed and drawn by ArtisXan, lots of nature and pride themes, as well as a bunch inspired by favorite media. The jewelry is food-grade silicone, and comes in discrete and fun designs intended for adults and teens.
Some of my personal favorite stickers are the "Emotional Support Water Bottle" and the "Do Not Perceive Me".
