Ebele Crystal Teddy Bear Keyring — Enamel Outfit Bag Charm | GrinSquid

A bear in a striped jumper, covered in stones.

Ebele is the dressed bear — a rhinestone teddy wearing an enamel outfit in either stripes or plaid. 6–8cm, every stone seated in gold-tone metal rather than glued, and it comes with both a lobster clasp and a split ring so it goes on anything.

Ebele is Igbo for mercy, or kindness. Teddy bears should sound kind.

What's the difference between Ebele and Ihuoma?

Ebele wears an enamel outfit; Ihuoma is fully encrusted with no clothing. Ebele is the more detailed piece and sits at £25.99, Ihuoma at £20. If you want the bear to read as a character, choose Ebele.

Frequently asked

What's the difference between striped and plaid?

The enamel outfit only. Both versions carry identical stone coverage and the same gold-tone settings.

Do the stones fall out?

No — each stone sits in its own gold-tone metal setting rather than being glued to the surface. That's the difference between a piece that sheds after a month and one that doesn't.

Will it fit a bag with a closed D-ring?

Yes. It comes with both a lobster clasp and a split ring, so it attaches to closed rings, zip pulls and open loops alike.

Is it heavy on a bag strap?

Under 30g. Light enough for a thin strap without pulling it out of shape.

What does Ebele mean?

Igbo for mercy or kindness. Every GrinSquid piece carries an Igbo name.

The striped one, if you're asking.

Are the stones glass or plastic?

Glass. Glass rhinestones refract light rather than scattering it, which is why they read as sharper than the acrylic stones used on cheaper charms — and why each one has to be seated in metal rather than glued.
