You can find some pretty interesting and bizarre designs perusing Etsy, the only crafts fair that lets anyone create their own online store, but the Food Jewelry by Milla and Olya Li may just take the cake for beautiful, crazy designs. The Russian design duo's company, named DollFood Miniatures And Jewelry, specializes in (you guessed it) detailed miniature models of food designed as jewelry and rings.

M&O: Our Jewelry is the handmade project that was created four years ago by two young artists named Milla and Olya. Our jewelry is unique and animated. We are proud of learning by our experience and we put much effort and energy into our handmade art. We try to recount a story, create a small world for every pieces of jewelry. That's why we make a lot of materials that help us to express our point of artist's view. We use wool, paper, cloth in making jewelry in order to all seems active and warm like life itself.
