I Want to Wear the Ocean…Ironically

Are you tired of biology fashion posts yet? I know, I know, I’ve already gone on about lobster dresses and Charley Harper and dressed like a shark (three times) and styled myself as a bird documentary and found inspiration in slime mold and professed my love for scarves that look like marine tube worms

But I only have four words for you: Giant Horseshoe Crab Pin!

Ahhhhhh!

This amazing piece of jewelry is the work of Hanna Bernhard, a husband and wife jewelry team based in France. I can’t afford any of their pieces, and I will probably have to settle for bedazzling an actual horseshoe crab and training it to sit on my shoulder*, but a girl can dream, right?

Or, I could go with the Blue Lobster Pin/Necklace

*And I will name him Skippy, since that seems ironic** for a horseshoe crab.

**That’s totally not the right use of “ironic.”*** I blame Alanis.

***Let’s just pretend I’m using it the way hipsters do.

  1. Oh, that blue lobster! Now I want one…

  2. Come now, is it fair to deliberately misuse “ironic” while hating misuse of the word “impact”?

    That jewelry is outstanding. Huge, too.

    That Horseshoe crab pin is absolutely amazing. I love stuff like this. I have a costume pin of a Staghorn beetle in pink pearl and rhinestones set in rose gold. It’s teensy, maybe 1/2 inch, and it makes me melt every time I see it.

  4. You are the cutest! And probably the only person to be able to pull that off. And also make me want one too. Which is weird because things with little bones freak me out! Even in bejewelled form.
