Creepilicious!
From the listing:
At the moment I am making these rings on a commission basis as I only have limited stock of these vintage ‘blinking’ dolls eyes.
When the Eye is held vertical it is ‘Awake’ and when it is horizontal it is ‘Asleep’. I guess these are circa 1940s – and they are very cool! So, when you wear your ‘Eye’ as a ring, your hand movement will make the Eye blink….
This is an example of the type of ring I am making. It is adjustable and made from solid sterling silver. The silver is textured and oxidized to bring out a pattern in the metal.
The Eye is set in resin – which can be coloured to your requirements. This particular Eye Ring also has fine silver ‘tears’ – which are polished tiny fine silver beads handmade by the Thai Karen Hills Tribe (purchased Fair Trade).
An Eye Ring like this one retails at around US$ 131.
One-of-a-Kind and very unique!
I’ll say! I kind of like it though. I used to have a doll that closed her eyes when you laid her down. That is, until I left her in the bottom of the toy box for months and one eye was stuck open and the other had no lashes. Now that was creepilicious!
Thanks Kristen!

Oh, I get it. Does it come in child-size? ‘Cause my daughter could play peek-a-boo all by herself. And then have nightmares about multi-eyed hands chasing her.

Reminds me of Margaux Lange jewelry – http://www.margauxlange.com/portfolio.html – which uses Barbie body parts.
