I wrote "(With an indestructible string of pearls, for example;-)" as a joke a few months ago, but it recently occurred to me that I could - with a fair amount of effort and willingness to try anything, as it turned out - fabricate such a string of "pearls" so that a rider in a potentially life-threatening situation could force a rogue driver to submit to her will using what amounts to a mixed martial arts or MMA choke hold, which avoids the dangerous action of completely disabling the driver of a moving vehicle.

I've listed the resulting design on eBay under my user name "adorned" with the hope that I can sell enough of them for $60 each, in order to finance a full utility patent, assuming our patent-pending system for more easily identifying the status of child safety locks can in fact be patented. (I've decided to self-finance the $3,750 to do a professional patent search so that we can determine this possibility, btw.) Obtaining a viable utility patent will be the only way we are likely to control the process of pressuring the rideshare companies into adopting our comprehensive system for enhancing the safety of all riders, but particularly the safety and security of single female riders at night.

I make each of the necklaces by hand, so I only want to list one of them on eBay at a time for now, until I can establish whether there will be any significant demand for them. As a result, the above link to the Buy It Now or Best Offer listing may not function properly when you click on it, if someone has already purchased that particular item. Please check back to this page in a day or two if that happens so that I can relist another "indestructible string of pearls" and refresh the above active link.

You could also write me at tweetures@gmail.com to arrange a private sale through PayPal if you prefer, which would save me the $5 eBay fee. This is a passion project of mine, so the insured USPS Priority delivery of your necklace would be absolutely assured!
