How this necklace calms someone down.
- Breathe in through the noseLike always. Nothing goes into the pendant.
- Breathe out through the ShiftThe chamber is machined to a patented diameter that stretches the exhale to about ten seconds, against two or three on your own.
- The body settlesA long exhale is the signal the nervous system reads as safe. Heart rate drops, the shoulders come down.
What happened after they opened it.
“I gave this to my sister for a gift. She was trying to stop smoking and was facing a difficult surgery. She was filled with anxiety and was having a hard time breathing. The Komuso Shift allow her immediate results, Something she could keep with her at…”
“The Classic Shift has made a huge difference for my teenage daughter. She has anxiety and this has really helped her maintain her calm and balance during some high stress situations. She never leaves home without it. Money well spent.”
“I really love the product, I gifted it to my husband and he loves it so much as well. He has been telling that it is helping to calm down and ground himself to the present moment. Thank you for this creation.”
“I bought these for my son and his boyfriend. They both suffer from anxiety and depression. So, far they are wearing them, so that’s a start.”
“I appreciate the breath reminder. My shift has been noticed and applauded by 2 of my doctors and my dentist. I'm sending a few for Christmas gifts.”

The questions givers ask.
Which finish and length should I pick?
Sterling silver is the one most people choose and the one most people start with. Matte slate reads darker and more discreet. Gold and rose gold are the dressier pair. Every Shift comes on the same 26″ luxe box chain, so there is no length to guess. If you pick the wrong finish, they can exchange it free through Jan 15; engraved pieces are made to order and final sale.
Does it come ready to give?
Yes. Every Shift arrives in its gift box with a pouch and the welcome card, and the free TKM breath course is included so they know what to do with it on day one.
Can I ship it straight to them?
Yes. Enter their address at checkout and the order ships to them, in the gift box.
What if it isn’t for them?
Holiday orders placed from Nov 1 can be returned or exchanged free in the U.S. through Jan 15, unworn and in the original packaging. Email info@komusodesign.com to start one. Engraved pieces are final sale.
Will they actually use it?
It reads as a necklace, which is the point: nobody has to explain it. People use it in meetings, on planes, in the car and before bed, and 4.8 stars from 1,800+ reviews is the long answer.
Is it good for someone trying to quit vaping?
It replaces the two things a vape gives them that nicotine gum does not: the hand-to-mouth habit and the long exhale. Nothing goes in. The quit course that comes with the Shift and quit bundle walks them through the first 30 days.
Give them a pause they can reach for.
The Classic Shift, from $114, in its gift box, with free U.S. returns through Jan 15.
