Hardcore Accessories

Whilst cyber-ly flipping through the electronic pages of the New York Times Style Mag, I happened to fancy my gaze on this splediferously amazing article about this dude, Ted Noten. He is like the revolutionary of the hardcore accessory realm right now.
According to NYTimes, "His pieces — a brooch cast from chewed gum, shattered porcelain cups hanging from a gold chain — are not your standard charm bracelet. A few years ago, when Noten, a former psychiatric nurse, was invited to create a piece with pearls for an exhibition, he dressed a dead mouse in pearls and encased it in an acrylic pendant."

Wow that sounds like some original hot 'ish to be rockin.
Honestly, his work is PHENOM and def puts to shame the attempt of Semi-Precious Weapons hardcore jewelery line. Its called Fetty of Brooklyn, although I do love the pieces.
But with prices like $15 and a hot band like Semi Precious Weapons, I think both them and Ted deserve this "handy-man" video by The Knife. It is oh so fitting!
