Every week I feel as if I’m not going to be able to find some new strange jewelry “trend”. I’m really not sure why I worry about it. This week’s ‘News of the Weird’ brings a tear to my eye…literally.

“Dutch designer Eric Klarenbeek, 29, has developed jewelry consisting of tiny crystals or flowers that hang directly from the eye via micro-thin medical wire attached to either prescription or blank contact lenses and, in the light, give the appearance of tears streaming down the cheek. He expects to hit the market soon, according to an October report in London’s Daily Mail, at a price of the equivalent of around $325.00. Though the adornments appear to be painful or dangerous, Klarenbeek said users of his prototypes so far have been ‘amazed’ at their comfort.” – Chuck Shepherd Universal Press Syndicate
