From Barbie fingers, to taxidermy bling, to some
terrifying creations, here's a collection of strange,
bizarre, odd, quirky, anatomical, uniquely gruesome
jewelry designs.
There's horror, road kill and serial killer jewelry,
body parts and animal parts jewelry, but possibly
the last entry here is the most alarming, though
don't miss a single shiver from all of these wildly
outlandish jewelry creations assembled here which
may distress, perplex, frighten, or please you.
Don't be afraid. Try to remember, that just like other things in life,
jewelry is not immune to causing a stir when
it's weird and creepy.
So, what
actually gives us the creeps?
It's a sensation we've "enjoyed"
since
humans walked upright. It can be that tingle up your spine, a feeling of
looming
unpleasantness, an eerie sense that something looks or feels weird, an
unsettling
sensation. And feeling creeped out owes its "scientific" moniker to no other
than
Charles Dickens, who in his "David Copperfield" novel used the
word "creepy"
to describe a strange yet familiar uncertain feeling we feel of a possible threat.
Whether
it's graveyards, creepy dolls, clowns, night creatures,
zombies, mummies,
a stranger invading your personal space in a big way,
endless inexplicable laughing,
or something else that's our of the ordinary, we all respond
when our bodies and
brains make us aware that something seems wrong, that we could be
in danger, so
there's an unmistakable feeling of uneasiness. All of our senses go on
high alert.
It's the unpredictability of that moment, some odd behavior, any strange
omens that
make us concentrate more intensely on that precise moment and place.
Maybe the
situation is potentially threatening. So we're uncomfortable, maybe
scared, but we're also guarded and ready to act, if we have to. Our brains
are wired
for self-preservation that way -- ready to evade or confront. Fight or
flight.
And yet,
because we
are what we are, we sometimes actually seek out the weird,
creepy, morbid. Well, experts say it seems we look at other people's misery for
an evolutionary
reason - that empathy helps us create strong bonds and that's
what humans need to
survive.
Some experts think morbid movies or creepy experiences actually stimulate empathy --
which translates to connection. Humans need to feel connected. In other words,
thinking about death or corpses or mass disasters, the grim or morbid actually
translates to a visceral, evolutionary sensation of feeling alive.
So we are all, to some extent, naturally attracted to weird,
morbid, even violent
things. Experts say it's due to this natural curiosity which
actually helps humans
prevent real dangers in life, or be able to deal with unpleasant feelings or
situations.
So that
means there is, and will always be, a part of us that actually loves to
be
creeped out. It's in our DNA. Because we love feeling alive!
What's
different right here and now is that you are in no danger
whatsoever.
Although
you will be discovering images of weird, creepy, morbid, macabre,
grotesque and scary
jewelry.
I shudder at
the thought. You have been warned. So enjoy, and feel alive!
