Egg centric! quirky accessories for crazy times

Egg accessories are fun, quirky and cool. What is not to love about fried egg ankle socks? These sunny blobs on an upbeat sky blue base are pure joy. A striking pattern of that classic breakfast staple with ruddy red bacon rashers against navy makes an excellent graphic on the regular ankle sock – so its eggs all round in the sock department. Our fried egg ring makes a hilarious addition to the interesting jewellery and accessories in our collection. Tiny, delicate mis-matched stud earrings on the same theme are both pretty and eye-catching in the most tasteful way.

A more neutral effect is created with our antique gold and silver effect drop earrings and pendants – unusual and pretty at the same time! More food for thought is ‘peppered’ through the entire Joe Cool collection. From indulgent sweets, cakes and pastries through fun fruit to spicy chilli peppers and appealing avocados, there is a feast. The added bonus of course being everything is zero calorie! Liquorice allsorts are always a favourite with a range of products to choose from.

While not exactly egg related, our iced donut key-rings and earrings and ‘stress-ball’ macaron, in the real world would have, as every foodie knows, seen an egg or two in the making. The super squishy macaron doubles as a useful keyring and the iced donuts look good enough to eat. More sweet treats come in the form of gummy bear jewellery, smartie (or m&m) necklace and bracelets and various ices to delight.

Go bananas with, well…bananas! Stud and drop earrings and key-ring ‘stress balls’ or silicon zip coin-purse are some of the ‘tasty’ accessories available. For more tropical flavours how about pineapple earrings or mixed fruit sticker sets? Transport yourself to the heat of Mexico with our collection of chillis!
