Zip-it Necklace

042709 Zipper Necklace Big-1
Since we're focusing on fashion this month, I've been keenly watching my eye on the zipper trend happening these last couple of years. Cleverly placed zippers have gone beyond utilitarian use to become decorative collars and ruffles. Now prepare for zippers to become the statement piece -- jewelry! Stylehive features the Zip-it Necklace designed by Cynics, an Australian design team. [ via CraftStylish ]

80s fashion

Yep, we had zipper necklaces AND earrings back in the day! Everyone wanted to "unzip" the wearer.

When my grandmother died ten years ago, I received a zipper necklace almost exactly like those. :)

It was gold-tone, though.

Hate to break it to you younguns, but we had zipper necklaces back in the 80s. ;)

Zip-off?

I have a necklace at home that is almost just like this one and I had it for years... unfortunately I cant remember the name of the designer, but it has certainly been done before!
