CAMPAIGN IS NOW LIVE!

ends 16 NOVEMBER 6 pm GMT

Brand new stunning collection of pins celebrating both you and landmark fossil specimens.

 

Palaeoiris is a collaboration of four queer scientists who want to make other LGBTQ+  scientists feel seen, heard, and celebrated. We have existed for over two years now and are experienced in designing and selling sciency pride merchandise.

We want every LGBTQ+ Natural History Lover to feel seen, heard, and celebrated. Our creations are here to give you that warm fuzzy feeling, but also to act as facilitators of impactful conversations that drive social change.

With this collection, we are introducing oversized pins that are both attention-grabbing and beautiful, just like the remarkable fossil specimens that inspired it. Dickinsonia - celebrating the explosion of life, Tiktaalik - celebrating vertebrates inhabiting land, Archaeopteryx - the specimen that taught us where birds came from, and Lucy - the human ancestor. 

Celebrate and Support

With the Progress Pride Flag versions of these pins there will be no mistake about where you stand on support for all the LGBTQ+ minorities. Communicate your belonging or/and allyship loud and clear. 

Display and Collect

For the first time ever, we will release a Deluxe variant of our pins for that classy celebration of these remarkable fossils. Perfect for gifting, wearing as a brooch, and displaying in your pin and/or fossil collection.

Attention-grabbing and show-stopping


You have never seen pins this large and detailed from us before. 

Regardless of whether you choose to wear or display them, these pins will be hard to overlook. 

Choose Progress Pride Flag variants for when you want to signal your support for intersectionality or just to nerd out at pin that combines two sides of you. The progress Pride Flag is designed to be visibly inclusive of Transgender people and LGBTQ+ people of colour. 

Choose Deluxe variants complete with metal plating and sandblasted recesses for when you want to wear a decorative pin, or as a perfect gift to commemorate a paleontological achievement! 

All pins will be delivered inside a rigid gift box with velvet backing, ready for gifting.
