10 Strangest Pieces of Jewelry

10-pieces-of-strange-jewelry

Excess is out of style, and the days of flashing gold and rapping about your bling seem to be gone for now. Costume jewelry is taking over in a big way. As a result, we’re bound to come across some pretty awful stand-ins. With that in mind, we present to you the 10 Strangest Pieces of Jewelry.

	Credit Card Earrings Nothing says “I love money and it’s likely I’m a golddigger,” like a pair of Credit Card Earrings. Acceptable for absolutely no one to wear (unless you’re vying for a spot on a VH1 reality show), they’re constructed of vinyl and plastic coated paper. Featuring the traditional Visa logo, they are available in low spending limit silver or high roller gold.
	The Horn Ring The Horn Ring is intended to complement a demon or fairy costume… and thank goodness for that. The claw (or horn?) is made of polymer clay and rests on a woven beaded ring. For maximum creepiness wear one on each finger, do a lot of growling and try not to make any sudden moves.
	Have a Heart Cocktail RIng In case you can’t quite make them out, the Have a Heart Cocktail Ring is indeed fashioned out of Barbie’s famous anatomically incorrect breasts. The iconic doll holds a special place in jewelry designer Margaux Lange’s heart, so she uses her parts to create wildly unique pieces. Cast in sterling silver, it’s surprisingly cute and not nearly as awkward as the bracelet featuring her eyes. Breast of all (stolen from Margaux’s Etsy site), $5 will be donated to the Susan G Komen Foundation for every purchase.
	Baby Naked 3-D Earrings Babies on your hip- totally in; Babies on your ears- totally bizarre. If the name Baby Naked 3-D Earrings isn’t weird enough, the caption suggests that they are the ideal present for a mother- to- be or babysitter. Sure, what better way to say “congrats” or “thanks for taking care of my children” than a pair of plastic nude babies dangling on a wire? Although, they could become the ideal gag gift for an otherwise yawn-inducing baby shower. .
	Dead Man’s Hand Bracelet Giving a whole new meaning to the term ‘death grip,’ the Dead Man’s Hand Bracelet is awesomely morbid. A cuff designed to mimic the hands of a cold, creepy skeleton, make no bones about it- unless it’s Halloween – this is downright awful.
	Modern Raspberry Earrings While these earrings are thought to resemble cute and juicy raspberries, we beg to differ. Looking more like brains or a really scary blister, they are actually pretty gross. Made from vintage German glass and featuring a tiny crystal bead, they’re sure to make you re-think that raspberry smoothie you’ve been craving.
	Snake Vertebrae Bracelet While at first glance the Snake Vertebrae Bracelet may seem grotesque, just think of all the snake skin products out there. It’s creepy nonetheless, but the company assures consumers that the snakes used are not harvested simply for fashion purposes….which is lot more than can be said about that python Ferragamo clutch you’ve been eyeing up.
	Eye Jewelry We understand avant garde and trying to create the next best thing…but jewelry for the eyes is just plain ridiculous. Are we that bored with traditional earrings and bracelets that we need to accessorize our organs? If you haven’t already clicked away, you can see that attached to this contact lens is a cluster of dangling bead-like adornments. Created by UK artist Eric Lauren Beck, Eye Jewelry is painful to look at and totally unnecessary.
	Moose Poop Earrings Close your eyes and imagine the very last thing you’d want hanging from your ears. Now open your eyes and check out the Moose Poop Earrings. Are these what you had in mind? Nothing says “look at me, I’m fabulous” like adding fossilized Bullwinkle droppings to your look. While they are fully coated and guaranteed not to smell, they’re still the grossest entry on our list.
	Chewed Gum Necklace We saved the (kinda) cutest for last! It’s agreed that the Chewed Gum Necklace is a little bit gross, but the bright bubble gum pink color and simple gold chain clearly result in the best looking piece of the group. It also delivers a (sort of) sweet message, because you wouldn’t share your gum with just anybody, would you?
