55 Unexpected Earrings

From Elegantly Porky Accessories to Recycled Firearm Jewelry

— July 3, 2012 — Fashion
Jewelry has again and again proven itself to be an excellent canvas for creativity, and these unexpected earrings show just how far outside of the box some designers have gone.

Inspired by a multitude of phenomena from weaponry to delectable desserts, earrings seem to lend even more creativity to their dangling nature and the fact that they come in pairs. Though some of these finds are arguably more aesthetically pleasing than others, there's no denying the fact that some seriously defiant attitude went into changing the way consumers think about ear gear. Some designs of earring jewelry come from a place of philanthropy, using unique material, while others aim to simply make a style statement.

Ranging from volatile looking to downright delicious, earrings are proving to be an unpredictable and surprisingly creative way of adorning oneself.
