The 18k Gold Vermeil OOVO Vocal Straw Necklace is a wearable vocal straw that helps singers and speakers practice anywhere. It helps you take better care of your voice with semi-occluded vocal tract exercises, also known as straw phonation. Coaches and pros recommend these vocal straw exercises to fix vocal strain, eliminate breaks, and develop a more powerful voice. The OOVO Straw is also a convenient and portable vocal mute, helping you practice anywhere quietly.

OOVO Care Kit included. See details below.

The OOVO Vocal Straw Necklace is the patented wearable vocal straw that helps singers and speakers practice anywhere, and look great doing it.

It's the top voice tool recommended by world-leading voice coaches, ENT doctors, and speech language pathologists. OOVO users include Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony winners; multi-platinum recording artists; and probably your favorite local voice teacher. It's the premium everyday vocal tool for singers and serious voice users.

The 18k Gold Vermeil OOVO Vocal Straw Necklace is the original solid 925 sterling silver OOVO Straw at its core, with a 100-microinch outer layer of solid 18k gold. Our gold vermeil is 5x thicker than traditional gold plating, in premium 18k gold, ensuring the durability and longevity of your favorite vocal warm-up tool.

Created for function, designed for style, and destined to last. It will continue to bring you joy every time you use it. Crafted with precious metal throughout, all of our OOVO Vocal Straw Necklaces are perfect for those who have sensitive skin.

Used for semi-occluded vocal tract training (straw phonation), the OOVO Vocal Straw Necklace generates back pressure for your vocal folds to vibrate with less effort. It helps singers and speakers achieve their healthiest vocalization during warm-up and strength training. Learn more about how it works.

Common questions

What is vermeil? Vermeil (pronounced ver-MAY) is solid sterling silver coated with a thick layer of real gold. Unlike standard plating, vermeil requires the gold layer to be at least 2.5 microns thick and made of at least 10k gold. OOVO uses 18k gold at 5x the thickness of standard plating. Vermeil is recognized as fine jewelry, not plated jewelry.

Will the gold wear off? With normal daily wear, no. Avoid chlorine (pools, hot tubs), abrasive cleaners, and ultrasonic cleaners. Use the included polishing cloth for routine care. The 18k gold layer is durable enough for genuine daily-wear use.

How does this compare to the Sterling Silver version? Identical function — same 3mm SOVT resistance, same hand-crafted construction, same 30-inch chain, same OOVO Care Kit included. The only differences are the finish (warm 18k gold vs. cool sterling silver) and the price point. Same voice tool underneath.

Is this a good gift for a singer? It's specifically designed to be one of the best vocal-themed gifts on the market. Most singers have drawers full of music-note pendants and treble-clef earrings that don't do anything. OOVO is jewelry the singer in your life actively uses every day — and the 18k gold version is the dressed-up edition for special occasions and stage wear.

What size resistance is this? The standard 3mm professional resistance recommended by SOVT research and most voice teachers. For adjustable resistance, see the Sing Ring by OOVO.

What occasions are good for gifting this? Graduation from a vocal performance program, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, opening night, congratulating someone after landing a role or finishing an audition, Mother's Day for the singing mom, holidays, end-of-year voice teacher appreciation.

How do I clean it? Rinse with warm water after use, dry with the included polishing cloth. The OOVO Care Kit (included) covers routine cleaning and polishing for the life of the piece.

Use it safely

Use light, sustained airflow — the device only reflects the pressure you put through it. If you have to push hard, you're pushing too hard. Stop and rest if you feel lightheaded, dizzy, short of breath, or any vocal pain. Consult your doctor before use if you have a heart, lung, or vocal condition, recent surgery, or are pregnant. Adult use only; keep away from children under 14. Read our full Safety & Use guidelines.
