25-year-old LA artist Rhys Kelly offers a variety of jewelry that emulates realistic eyeballs—often taking cues from the unique color combinations and features that she notices in different people.
With this in mind, Kelly seeks to tell the stories of her subjects through her art, celebrating each individual's perspective and how the way they view the world impacts their life. With a number of different colors, sizes, and finishes available, Kelly's jewelry starts at $145, and can be purchased through her website. Her hyperreal hand-painted eye charms are available on both rings and necklaces.
The artist also offers a series of artwork that celebrates the beauty of perspective, including statement sculptures and wall art that will give any room a whimsical twist.
