They really caught my attention along with the gorgeous feather detail hair and embellished collars. Designed by LA based jewelry designer Tom Binns for Jason Wu&#8217;s Spring presentation, the earrings in the collection had dangling tassel like chains embellished with pearls, rhinestones, safety pins and zipper pulls. The designer describes his designs as fine jewelry infused with a modern attitude. It definitely has a youthful and tough street chic vibe to it but still ladylike at the same time. Take a look at these pictures below.<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-tTLiVBcALXw\/T5I8SQXIvGI\/AAAAAAAAB08\/Rs7VGlREA28\/s1600\/jasonwu1.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;
