Australian label Ichi Knee recently launched "Hungry Ears" their delightfully chic collection of [sushi-themed accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-sushi-rolls).

The earrings are modeled after [spicy tuna rolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siesta-co), edamame beans and even sesame seed snacks that are a favorite in most sushi locales.

Ichi Knee designer Grace Tankard is based in Sydney and works with Japanese artisans to create her [one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird). She has been praised for her lifelike "naruto, onigiri and hand roll" accessories and is winning Sydney's fashion elite over with her designs.

These charming jewelry pieces look good enough to eat and are guaranteed to get one noticed. Pair them with an eclectic and colorful ensemble or spice up a minimalist pairing with the fun ear adornments.
