First it was tattoos, then it was body piercing, but the latest fashion craze looks so painful it's literally eye-watering.
In the frenzy to come up with something different one designer has created a line of jewellery which is intended to be worn on the eyes.
The bizarre range features a number of adornments which hang on wire from contact lenses.
Users attach a range of accessories, such as crystals and flowers, to the new prescription or dummy lenses and wear them throughout the day.
The jewellery, which measures up to 14mmx33mm, is attached to the contact using medical wire and hangs below the eye.
The crystal accessories glimmer in sunlight and look as if the wearer is crying.
Dutch designer Eric Klarenbeek, 29, said: 'People who have worn my eye jewellery are amazed at its comfort.
'You can't feel the wire dangling, it doesn't affect your sight and the lens moves along gently with your eyeball, even while blinking.
'It started out as an experiment but I decided to put it into production when I got positive feedback from wearers.
'I have made small changes to the components and balance of the jewellery as I strive for perfection.'

The Obamaniacs better order a bunch of ‘em for post-November.
I saw the pix. Perfect accessory for the modern metrosexual.
As if there weren’t enough whinies out there, now they have show the world they’re crying 24/7.
Oh, so it DOES make you look like a metro-sexual doofus.
I was thinking it probably would, but I hadn’t seen any photos prior to this one.
It looks like a giant snot or eye-booger
Real attractive
Do they make one with a tiny violin for the other eye?
Additionally, public scorn and ridicule is grossly under utilized.
When I see pants to the knees, tattoos covering 80% of visible flesh, a face that looks like its been fragged, etc., I freely give a look of derision. More than once I've had the object of my derision state something along the line of, “You shouldn't judge people by how they look.”
I love that one. I simply respond by saying that I've never judged someone by the way God made them look, but that they have obviously spent a great deal of time, money, and effort changing themselves precisely in order be judged by their looks, and that I'm just obliging them. Its their tough luck if they don't like the judgment.
It has never failed to leave them deflated. And no, amazingly I haven't been physically assaulted yet.
To be fair, even without the eyeball accessory, he’d still look like a metro-sexual doofus.
Good way to scratch your corneas up if you should get in an accident. Also could you imagine what it’s going to be like for the first metroguy to get into a fist fight and get this stuff ripped out of his eye?
Wow!
the latest MUST HAVE for Attention WHORES!!!
Emos must be eradicated!
Didn’t Bjork have something like this 10 years ago?
Hmm, I dont like it. Although i guess we shouldnt judge. Ms. Moleman recently got her nose piereced, just a tiny little diamond. I think its cute.
The crystal accessories glimmer in sunlight and look as if the wearer is crying.
Which they should be. They will later regret not having used that money for methadone.
As ridiculous as that thing is, at least you can take it off once you realize you're a famdool for wearing it. The same cannot be said of people who have the names of ex-boyfriends tattooed on their breasts, have obscenities tattooed on their foreheads and necks, or who lengthen their ear lobes so quarter-sized holes can be drilled in them.
The P.T. Barnum venture capital firm has backed another winner.
Interesting idea. Doesn’t look too good to me though.
“nose piereced, just a tiny little diamond.”
I never had a problem with that one, as long as it was just a small diamond or stud.
