21/365: Weird jewelry
Oct. 22nd, 2008 11:04 pmIt's outside of my scope of personality to wear normal jewelry.
I don't mean that I go around wearing cassette tapes attached to earring hooks, I just mean that I don't wear abstract silver designs. The most normal things I own in this regard are a pair of pearl earrings that I think belonged to my grandma.
Here's a rundown of what I gots in my jewelry box these days:
- antique skeleton key necklace with a filigree head
- Western-style revolver earrings
- a tiny hand mirror necklace (think Snow White)
- a brass honeybee necklace (it's very realistic)
- a pair of tiny seagull-in-flight earrings
- skulls with crystals for eyes earrings
- a silver swallow in flight necklace
- a blue and green koi fish necklace
- some VERY unusual earrings: the part that's flush against my earlobe is a big pink flower thing, and the dangly part is a little cutout image of a 1940s sailor and a woman dancing--I got those in London at Les Nereides
- circular bamboo hoop earrings
- red plastic rosebud earrings
- flying V electric guitar earrings
- my charm bracelets, including all the charms I collected in Europe and the 3 pre-made ones (The Rat Pack name medallions, Old Vegas Hotels, Hawaiian Tiki)
I really kind of wish I'd bought the brass elephant head necklace when I was thinking about it.
