There are even two drop-like stones hanging below that resemble drips of blood. The black crows are said to be inspired by a picture from a [children's bedtime story](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew)--apparently I missed that particular childhood classic. For more outside-of-the-box jewelry by Miju, check out the gallery above. **Implications** - Current fashion trends are encouraging consumers to stand out from the crowd and express themselves as individuals.
