Portal fans will enjoy the nerdy quirkiness behind the portal earrings.
Designed to look like the tester is jumping through the signature portal, the shadowy figure goes in one ear and out the other. In through the orange and out through the blue, the tester's body is missing entirely, giving the illusion of being lodged within the wearer's skull. Though it may seem as if the Portal earrings are designed for women, anyone with a piercing can adorn these geeky accessories. For those with only one pierced ear, the other silver-plated enamel earring can be given to a friend of equal nerdiness, making it seem as if the subject is leaping through infinite amounts of space.
