Apparently, the Meteorological Institute of Germany is warning those with piercings to leave the jewelry at home -- or else.

We heart Barbie parts jewelry on Etsy - Daily obsession

Filed under: Accessories, Daily Obsession

We used to think that wearing body parts as jewelry was reserved for serial killers -- but that was before we came across this awesome Barbie parts jewelry. If you look closely, you might notice something kind of familiar about this heart pendant. Give up? It's Barbie's chesticles -- and don't even pretend that you never checked out a naked Barbie. A seller on Etsy is selling these highly unique heart pendants that feature a Barbie bust, encased in a sterling silver setting.

Perhaps the coolest second coolest part (it's kind of a toss up) about this pendant is that with each purchase, a $5 donation is made to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to find a cure for breast cancer. Not only that, but the hearts are available in three skin tones: vanilla, butterscotch, and chocolate. There's actually a whole lineup of Barbie-inspired jewelry available from this artist. Some pieces are a bit more disturbing than others -- like these creepy Barbie hand earrings.
