My colleague at work was wearing a croissant shaped locket yesterday which caught my eye.
I asked her where she got it and it led me to a website with the cutest food-themed jewellery!
Cinnamon bun earrings!
I’m very tempted.

What a neat idea! I’m a silver gal all the way, but I love these:
Here’s their silver collection:
Lots of options for dumpling lovers.
I love silver too but the baked goods look better in gold ![]()
All my ear holes are filled with non-removable rings, but I keep toying with the idea of adding a couple more just so I have ones available for stuff like this.
I would rock the hell out of some croissant or baguette earrings.
… all of them? Do you have more than 2 ear holes? If you mean piercings… how could they not be removed? Are they like those perma-bracelets that are welded/soldered around one’s wrist?
I only have two lobe piercings, but I keep debating getting a helix one.
I do mean piercings. They are currently filled with 12 and 10 gauge captive bead rings. They aren’t easily removed without a set of padded pliers to open them. I’m planning to go one thicker, 10 and 8 gauge.
Oh. Is that like those tire-like things people have in their earlobes?
Those are stunning. Better in silver tho ![]()
Cocktail olive hoops - I think these would be better in silver too @linguafood
they aren’t QUITE that thick. 12 gauge is about 2mm thick. 10 is 2.59mm. 8 is 3.25mm. These are slightly thick for ‘normal’ earrings, but nothing extreme. I know lots of folks with stretched lobes with big ol’ plugs in them, some a couple cm wide.
What’s the thing in the top left corner, next to the oyster? Can’t quite figure it oot.
Shrimp cocktail.
Shrimp hanging off edge of the bowl with ornamental greens and lemon wedge.
That was also my first guess, but I found the green leaves confusing — having never been served a shrimp cocktail with decorative greenery ![]()
there are some nice lobster earrings available. I had daydreamed about wearing them to an annual Lobsterfest I used to attend.
The reality is my nickel sensitivity means no more costume jewellery / gold plated jewellery for me. So I browse occasionally, no intention to buy.
I also like the look of cherry earrings.

When you click on the ‘materials’ section in your Wolf and Moon link, it doesn’t name nickel as a material used. It is sterling silver plated with gold apparently.
The funny thing about a nickel sensitivity, is that the amount of gold in the plating is not enough to cancel whatever other metals are in the post.
I am getting a reaction to whatever is called surgical steel posts, often used in Canada, but not highly regulated, as well as to earring posts that are 10 K and 14 K. Which means I’m not able to wear the vast majority of my jewellery anymore.
I had blamed a chemical burn on my arm on some insecticidal soap about 2 years ago. Blisters that developed, took 2 weeks to heal. I didn’t realize until this past summer, when I wore a bracelet I’ve owned for 7 or 8 years, and my wrist started burning, that my nickel sensitivity had worsened. That previous burn was also from another bracelet, another one I had worn without any issues for 15 years before that.
Jewellery doesn’t usually declare the nickel. It’s part of the mixed metals that are added to the gold, and it’s not clear when one buys something that is 10 K or 14 K whether nickel is part of the package.
That sucks. An independent jeweller may be able to help create pieces that you can wear. If I really like a design, I know I can get it made in proper gold or silver in India by an independent small jewellers.
