The SILKWORM NECKLACE has been a while in the making. It is a new version of the caterpillar necklace bead range.  With a broader, flatter and textured design, the hand crafted Silkworm will provide sensory support and enjoyment. 

These are an awesome wearable sensory tool, feel amazing to use & look good with anything. 

We have had these weighted stainless steel beads custom made for us.   YOU asked...we listened... Many that love the caterpillar fidget asked for bigger, more weighted beads. 

"Love this one! Thought I’d try it after losing a caterpillar. The flatter beads have a little bit of grip that makes a soft sound rolling. A nice blend of smooth and gritty. This style does so well as a pocket fidget for on the go and fits with a discreet professional grown up aesthetic. Joanne R Aug 2023"  

The weighted stainless steel beads roll between fingers beautifully. Many rub the cord also. This fidget is super soft in effect.   You can push your fingers in between the beads for a similar sensation to the pea popper.  

It is particularly great for those that stim with fabric, Blu-Tack rollers or like low sensory input as it glides between the fingers & is very calming. It is small, discreet and quiet. It is a quiet fidget, making it ideal for the workplace, travel or the classroom.

Not suitable for 3 and under as beads can pose a choking risk.

 Please note they are made using cord that can frey over timesue to friction.  This is wear and tear and cannot be avoided.  The time this takes to occur can depend on how the fidget is used. 

Made here in Melbourne by US!

    FAQ

    How is my order shipped?

    Typically we use Australia Post.  If it is more economical, we may use an alternative carrier and we deliver Australia wide.

    We aim to post within 24 hours of receiving our order.

    Once payment has been received we will send you an email confirmation.

    Postage times will vary depending on location however in most cases you should receive your order within 3-5 business days from the purchase date.

    Large or special items may incur additional postage and handling charges.

    Can I have it sent Express Post?

    Absolutely!  Just select that option at check out.  

    Express Post orders are sent via Australia Post. Please refer to the Australia Post website for delivery time frames.  For items larger than Australia Post limits we use a range of courier services. 

    Do you ship internationally?

    We ship to most destinations around the world.  There are some set up for flat rate shipping. 

    Please note that charges do not include any duty/taxes charged by your country's port authorities (if applicable).  You will be responsible for any charges they may add.  We are unable to quote these as they vary immensely from country to country. 

    If you country isn't setup for flat rate shipping please email us a list of the products you are interested in and your shipping information /address to jo@kaikofidgets.com and we can provide you with a quote.

    Again, please remember customs and duties are the responsibility of the Customer.

    Please note shipping to Europe and UK is currently disabled on the website while I try get my head around the Brexit law changes and regulations.  

    If your order is over 135 pound (approx 260 AUD) then we can ship and you pay the VAT on its arrival.  Unfortunately orders under this amount are way to complicated to manage as we have to charge all the fees our end. 

    This is what is on the UK information pages:  For the sale of goods over £135, you might not be required to collect VAT at the point of sale. In this case, VAT and duties are remitted by the importer. If you use registration-based taxes and have a UK VAT registration, then VAT will not be applied to your sales to customers in the UK. If you choose to, you can charge your customer for VAT and duties at the time of sale, and then provide these funds to the shipper or importer using a shipping label. Alternately, you can send the orders without charging VAT and duties, and your customer will pay extra funds at the time of delivery.
