Jewelry designer Margaux Lange incorporates some very unusual elements in her jewelry. Take another look at the necklace above and what do you see? A heart...yes...look closer...think back to your childhood...yep, it's Barbie boobs; you are not mistaken. In fact, all of Lange's pieces incorporate pieces of Barbie - butts, boobs, arms, ears and beyond...the artist explains:
Barbie dolls were extremely significant in fueling my creative life as a child...Whether you love her or hate her, there are few who feel neutral about the plastic princess. I am fascinated with who she is as a cultural icon, her distinguished celebrity status, and the enormous impact she has had on our society. Specifically, I’m intrigued with her influence in defining gender roles of women in contemporary American culture. - excerpted from the artist's statement.
Whether you'd wear these pieces personally or not, one thing's for sure - they're conversation starters! Get more insight into Marguax Lange's mind via her blog - click here.

That pendant is crazy! It's like when you see it, you know immediately where it's from but because it's in a new setting you're temporarily thrown off. Cool stuff.
