Plug the ocean

Some of my FAVOURITE marine-themed plugs, ranked and linked with site of origin.

An on-going ranking...

1. Shell Teardrop Plugs

I'm in love with the tear drop design, and these plugs remind me of when I was a kid trying out the folk-myth of listening to the ocean by holding shells to my ears. The intricacy of the design revamps this childhood feeling into an edgy, detailed symbol. Although the most expensive, these plugs are definitely number 1.

2. Lichen Moss Drop Gauges

These hand made plugs consist of pretty compositions of lichen and moss. I'm guessing the lichen is Xanthoria parietina, which can be found on Rocky shores.

3. Pyrex Glass Jellyfish Plugs (Blue Moon On White)

The white background really makes these plugs and draws more attention to the centred jellyfish . I love the 3D appearance, however ,it's clear that the jellyfish may get distorted in smaller plugs.

4. Under The Sea Plug Earrings

I appreciate how realistic these look, I'm not really a fan of the shape alone but the starfish's arms touching the circumference is quite cool.

5. Glass Shark Face Teardrop Plug

Glass engravings are a lot more subtle so I think this was the best way to display this quite scary design. A stereotypical shark portraying a face full of anger... I'd certainly where this when it fits my mood.
