Literal Jewelry

7 Bands Masquerading as Accessories

It’s passe to wear that faded band tee to the gig playing in town, so here’s the next best thing: musicians as wearable jewellery in disguise.

The Nine Inch Nails are now condensed fittingly as a cord ring with nine inch-long nails. Bat for Lashes gets even more literal with a bat pendant that has multiple eyelashes stuck onto its batwings. #### Buttons has a solution: get a zipper treatment.
