Eye Jewelry

Juniper Foo | Aug 18, 2005

If artist James Sooy's pierced eyeglasses aren't enough to make a spectacle of yourself, check out Amsterdam-based designer Eric Klarenbeek's eye jewelry. Presumably safer than the fashion trend which caught the eye of Dutch women last year, in which surgeons implanted tiny pieces of jewelry called Eye Jewel into the eye's mucous membrane, fellow countryman Klarenbeek has opted for a less invasive option. His eye jewelry uses contact lenses to hang funky stuff from, and claims to have no effect whatsoever on your sight. Nor do you even feel it. Seeing, of course, is believing.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder - holds truth in this image because I am cringing at the sight of this.

Beautiful! What great idea. Iwonder if I could sent him contact lenses to have the jewelry installed, or are they special lenses?
