Over-the-Counter Pill Earrings
Pills are Western medicine's most ubiquitous symbol, yet they were never a fashion statement until Louis Hohenstein, a San Francisco sound engineer, decided to bring them out of the cabinet and turn them into earrings. The idea was born when a friend joked about needing painkillers while playing Ultimate Frisbee. So Hohenstein mounted a couple of ibuprofen, though getting the job done made the pills unswallowable. Each pill is dipped in urethane to preserve it and add luster.
