What you're cringing looking at is a piece of jewelry for your eyeball. Aptly titled "The Eye Jewellery Project," artist Eric Klarenbeek threaded some medical wire through some crystals and attached it to a contact lens. I don't know about you, but feeling a thread between my eyelids every time I blink would take some getting used to. Still, you're bound to turn some heads.

Klarenbeek was asked on a video he posted on the project what would happen if someone tugged (yeee-ouch!) on the line, the artist responded, "It just falls out... (or in worst case, [sic] the wire might break)." At least it won't take your eyeball out with it!

Still with me? Well, steel your stomach and click Continue for a video of Klarenbeek's eye jewelry in action, eerily set to Nine Inch Nail's Ghosts. Be sure to also take a gander at the gallery below for some close-ups.
