Jannemiek Sonneveld, 27, turns her left eye to show the latest thing in body fashion, the Jewel Eye, in her hometown Driebergen, the Netherlands April 7, 2004. The eye jewel, made of platinum and available in the shape of a heart, a star or circle, is implanted under the cornea of the eye and is not visible unless the eye is turned. The procedure costs 500 euros.

Posted by: dwaonng on April 11, 2004 09:28 PMI think it is cute, but I personally wouldn't do that. But I guess it's like when the first couple of girls got their naval pierced; some people probably thought the same....
