Who needs clothes....

So yesterday I was catching up on all the tv I missed last week and I was watching the latest episode of abc's Shark Tank (one of my newest obsessions).

 If you haven't seen it, the concept of the show is people pitch their business ideas to captains of their industries in the hopes to get investments from the "sharks". It really good, you should watch it sometime. But anyway, on this episode two girls come on and they have this business called Litter Jewelry. But they are not just making earrings and bracelets, they have:

Chain Mustaches

Chain Vests

Even shoe jewelry

So, they got me thinking about this unconventional jewelry. While, one of the sharks, Kevin O'Leary

 said he had never seen anything like these, I can't say the same. I have seen some pretty interesting jewelry. However, I've never seen so much of it in the same place. And I commend these girls for doing so many different things, especially since they only use vintage chain and at the time they went on the show they were creating everything themselves. 

I could see this unconventional jewelry becoming a big trend in the future. Here are some examples of in on the runways now. 

This is by a brand called Ashish for their Fall/winter 2012

This piece is by a label called "Oh Boy" also for Fall/winter 2012

And this is my Favorite. It is Alexander McQueen spring/summer 2012. 

So, I will leave you with that. Although creative jewelry has been around for awhile a lot of people are just starting to see it, so if you want to grab some attention why don't you try making some of your own from vintage jewelry.
