Eye Jewelry

Over the years, with the help of Jager and horror flicks, I’ve managed to develop a pretty strong stomach. But this invention makes me cringe and dry-heave a bit. This is eye jewelry developed by Eric Klarenbeek. The jewels hang from contact lenses. Supposedly they don’t affect eyesight at all. It is an artistic concept,…
