These earrings by You gNeeK on Etsy solve the age-old problem of form vs. function. Have your cake, eat it too! Two birds, one stone! !!!
The store offers hundreds of delightfully geeky objects, such as a math clock I’m incredibly tempted to get for my boyfriend (PhD student in electrical engineering… ’nuff said) and lots of cool functional tools dressed up as aesthetically pleasing jewelry. I’m infinitely pleased by the spirit level necklace, but the violent pyro in me can’t keep her eyes off the infinitely cool dangerous toys, like the working folding knife earrings. Steampunk enthusiasts should forget their silly faux clockwork jewellery and turn to these instead. Nothing says gentlewoman-adventurer chic quite like working lighter earrings. Love them.
Tiny Folding Knife Earrings. $39.99
Vintage Gold Lighter Earrings. $49.99
Switchblade necklace. $34.99

I like a little punk edge mixed in with my pearls, so I’m utterly adoring Joomi Lim’s Love Hurts bracelet-handcuff for Laila Lee. [Not really SFW] It’s the perfect combination of the pearls’ classic looks with a harder touch. If I’m not wearing them straight, I tend to mix pearls with a whole slew of chains, but I really like this idea of just contrasting them with clean lines of the single chain and the spikes. I would wear this as a bracelet, as shown below, but the versatility of the piece is great.
Joomi also makes other wonderful pieces which are available at Opening Ceremony. $195 is a little steep for me for this particular piece, given that I am armed with chains, pearls and jewelry pliers, and not afraid to use them, but I’m really inspired by it, and am already sketching out variations to play with next time I’m rooting through my jewelry-making supplies. I shall just have to go out to get some spikes.
Proving their versatility.

Did I mention I love Michelle Chang’s jewellery? Check out her snake rings and her skull bangle:
Open Mouth Snake Ring, $216
Double Baby Snake Ring, $136
Baby Skull Bangle, $64 (This might have to be the next piece of hers I acquire)
I also love her Baby Skull Ring, and her Baby Kitty Studs for a touch of sweetness.

I know, the post title is awful and cheesy, but… just look at the adorable necklace my man got me for Valentine’s Day!!! I couldn’t resist!
I love elephants, and small cute creatures, and have been utterly lusting after all the items in Michelle Chang’s Etsy shop, so it was a perfect match! It’s teeny and even cuter in real life. I’m overjoyed.
Action shot to be added later, when I’m in a better-lit place.

Something about this neckpiece really speaks to me…
[giia]
I’ve really been about elaborate accessories paired with super-minimalist clothing of late. Here, I love the form and texture, and the crazy intense shade of blue. It reminds me of a modern (less ludicrous) take on an Elizabethan ruff.
