With quirky fashionista fans like Mary Kate Olsen, Scarlett Johanssen, Blake Lively, Zooey Deschanel, and Lucy Liu, you can guess that Kimberly Baker jewelry will be more than just a bunch of pretty baubles.

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.

Remember those little plastic bow barrettes you wore when you were a little girl? I even briefly wore them again in high school when the baby barrette fad swept through in the mid-1990's. While I've come to terms with the fact that I'll never be wearing those colorful little bows in my hair again, there's something about the sight of them that will always bring back good memories.

So, I was absolutely thrilled to find these sterling silver bow necklaces from Twigs and Heather. They're simple, silver and classy, but share the same shapes as those baby bow barrettes we loved.

All of the pendant designs from Twings and Heather range from $20 to $40. They are available exclusively at Turtle in Boston, MA, or can be ordered via email.
