Jewellery designer Benjamin Lignel created this collection of metal brooches in a collection called “Thinking of Youâ€. The pins are in the shape of ears and were named 'Thinking of you Rita' and 'Thinking of you Andrea.' They each have piercing holes, presumably for dangling a little earring from. Imagine the fun you could have with a third ear to dress up! The unpierced pink ear is called 'Thinking of you Felix', I guess Felix doesn't have pierced ears.
Lignel has spent his design career in both the UK and France.
