Tutty Frutty or Wearing "Food" Jewellery

When I created a necklace “Fruits of labour” with various bead fruits and vegetables (not shown here) many years ago, little did I know that this jewellery trend will take off and find itself in many different forms and shapes in the fashion world. Made from real fruit (as seen below), plastic or expensive gemstones, food somehow landed on our necks and ears!

Bo Baumer Puces Poireaux

Piaget

These pieces, made out of gemstones, are very quirky yet luxurious.

BUT wait! In 2012 season, Dolce and Gabbana took “food as your jewellery” to the next level! Being truly Italian, not only they celebrated women’s elegance and style, but also showed their healthy appreciation for veggies and allegiance to pasta. A true woman, wherever she comes from, should be both stylish and with a good appetite.

So have another look at your next pasta dinner or fruit salad for fashion inspiration…
