I just saw these earring featured in a collage on intermixonline, but the boutique isn't actually selling them. So after a little research, I learned that they are by jewelry designer Tom Binns.
These safety pin earrings from his Real Deal Collection make me nostalgic for junior high. A rebellious girl in my 8th grade homeroom class was constantly piercing her ears with safety pins. I always thought the look was cute, but I simply had no desire to wear jewelry I had to stab myself with to get on. That, and my ears can be sensitive to fake metal...especially rusty safety pin metal.
Most of the Real Deal Collection appears to be done in 18 carat gold, and according to a blurb on Kaboodle, this Tom Binns pair is around 3" long. I think they are punky yet elegant and would indulge my inner rebellious 8th grader, without the risk of an ear infection.
