If you haven't got that much disposable income, she also does smaller pieces: earrings and necklaces inspired by eyes, lips, spiders, cephalopods, frogs, etc. They're pretty, but I keep coming back to that hand and thinking it's so cynically appropriate to put a bony skeleton hand on a fashion model. </p> <p>Found via <a href="http://hautemacabre.com/2009/04/fendi-goes-skeletor/">haute macabre</a></p> </div> <span><a title="View user profile." href="/author/bioephemera" lang="" about="/author/bioephemera" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">bioephemera</a></span> <span>Fri, 04/17/2009 - 04:00</span> <div class="field field--name-field-blog-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-inline"> <div class="field--label">Tags</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/conspicuous-consumption" hreflang="en">Conspicuous consumption</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/design" hreflang="en">design</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/wearables" hreflang="en">Wearables</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/anatomical" hreflang="en">anatomical</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/anatomy" hreflang="en">anatomy</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/bone" hreflang="en">bone</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/bracelet" hreflang="en">bracelet</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/carpal" hreflang="en">carpal</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/delettrez" hreflang="en">delettrez</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/fashion" hreflang="en">Fashion</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/fendi" hreflang="en">fendi</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/hand" hreflang="en">hand</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/jewelry" hreflang="en">jewelry</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/silver" hreflang="en">silver</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/tag/design" hreflang="en">design</a></div> </div> </div> <section> <article data-comment-user-id="0" id="comment-2403233" class="js-comment comment-wrapper clearfix"> <mark class="hidden" data-comment-timestamp="1239961695"></mark> <div class="well"> <strong></strong> <div class="field field--name-comment-body field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><p>It's not jewellery - it's a Borg assimilation device.
