OCTOPI

I've been seeing a lot of octopus related things lately - and I kind of like it.
There's just something about those tentacles, right?

Check out this gorgeous, tentacliscious jewelry by OctopusME! Each piece is created from real tentacles cast in sterling silver. If my ears were pierced, I think I'd get the earrings - they are just so unique.

More about the octopus and why it's so cool [from OctopusME!]:
The Octopus is a symbol of Transformation and Regeneration. Because of its reputation of changing colors to match its backgrounds, the octopus is also known as the Master of Disguise. Octopuses also have the power to regenerate. If an octopus loses an arm in battle it can grow a new one. Some can even detach and arm to distract predators and then grow another! Don't mess with the octopus because they can stun or kill you with one poisonous bite. The poison is called tetrodotoxin which is the same as Fugu, the puffer fish served in Japan. So treat your Octopus with Love!

Octopus jewelry from OctopusME! from $45 - $450.
