Leave it to darkly mystical jewel designer Pamela Love to give us a ninja weapon and accessory in one slick ring to slip on our fingers. Most hardcore baubles (they’re are suddenly so many out there inspired by swords, studs, punks, and daggers) only look threatening, but in this case, I’m actually serious about the danger factor here – literally and figuratively.
Partially oxidized sliver creates the appearance of a sweeping, far-reaching talon. And a sharp claw at that. Inspired by porcupine needles, it extends a little to far out and even lashes out past the fingers, so not only are the people around you in danger, so are your clothes. Watch out for crowded places and be especially careful around knits! I love edgy innovation when it comes to accessories, but this time Pamela has gone just a tad too far. As cool as this prickly porcupine needle is, its unwearability ultimately wins the battle here. On Net-a-Porter for $425.
