Silver LEGO rings, necklaces and earrings: The wondrous plastic fantastic world of LEGO continues to transgress the conventional function of being a favorite toy of children to seducing adults with its playful nature.
This is the unique handmade jewelry collection, aptly called Forever Young, made by JacQueline Sanchez in Atlanta. She creates these fun pieces of jewelry using sterling silver, Argentine silver and 14kt and 18kt yellow gold, platinum and copper adorned with LEGO bricks. They're a little too quirky for my taste, though.
