These [creative fashion accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiyu) may be a bit outlandish, but they are definitely unique. The knuckledusters are made out of [china and in different designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destree-x-cabana) such as bright florals and dark blue patterns. Juliet Ames states that all of the items she creates are recycled, so they are eco-friendly. On The Broken Plate Pendant Company's Etsy page, Juliet Ames jokes around that she pities the "fool" who messes with her!
