Love In Vein came into being in 2009, in Cape Town South Africa,
Blaise & Cader, separated by 1400 kilometers and with the prospect of a 12 month long distance relationship ahead of them, began experimenting with storing and wearing each others blood.

After much research, they found the best way to extract, store and wear each others blood.

Wondering if there were distance-torn couples elsewhere in the world who would wish to do the same, they listed a single blood vial kit on Etsy in early 2010.
They were stunned and delighted when it sold!
To Sweden! 

Love In Vein™ "Fill It Yourself" Blood Vial Kits were created. 

It was the very first kit of its kind in the world: 
it was simple, virtually pain-free and as their buyers soon reported back, a beautifully intimate experience!

Blaise and Cader still design, hand-pick components, design new styles, quality check, pack, seal and post each and every parcel and will always do so.

They believe that such a meaningful piece of jewellery should be dispatched with the respect and good intentions that the process and future wearers deserve, and they have committed to ensuring that the kits remain special and unique.

Each year they improve on their packaging and styles, making sure that both delight buyers when their parcels arrive.
They gift wrap each kit, and include a hand-written note.

They welcome requests for customisation and are thrilled at collaborating with fellow-creatives.

Blaise and Cader have repeatedly innovated, creating the first kit of its kind, offering the first precious metal kits, Nano-plated kits in dozens of colors, offering a custom design solution.

They source the highest quality products worldwide and have arrived at the most intimate, least painful and above all; most hygienic process to extract blood safely and fill the vials.

The kits have been replicated by many people both for personal use and for sale, but none have managed to quite capture the intention of intimacy with which the Love In Vein kits were originally - and still are - created.

Each kit arrives with everything required to complete the process (save for blood and glue) as well as tips for making the occasion even more special and memorable. 

Love In Vein are immensely proud that their kits have shipped worldwide to over 40 countries and been part of marriage proposals, engagement ceremonies, weddings, hand fastings, conceptions, commemorations, marriage renewals, anniversaries, mountain climbing expeditions and included in Memento Mori celebrations.

Buyers are encouraged to ask questions before purchasing a kit, to ascertain if it's the right thing for them; 
Blaise and Cader will happily give advice prior to the use of the kit, with an invitation to call anytime day or night with any questions!
