i’m not really sure what you call this style of earring.  they sort of give me the feeling of being a more socially acceptable way to experiment with the tina turner in mad max look.  how could that not be a good thing?  (incidentally, i just downloaded we don’t need another hero.  so good.  if you’re not feeling that level of commitment, you should watch the video here.)  anyway… check out disco medusa.  the earrings pictured left are only $40, which is more than justifiable. they have a number of other cool, similar styles.  and the pair on the right is by victoria moore.  she works with damascus steel, where strips of metal are forged together to create patterning.  there are a lot of really amazing pieces on her site. check it out…
