I come across A LOT of items daily made by independent designers.  Much of them are inspiring and usually end up featured on Modish, but then there are some things that are so stunning and so inventive and unique, that they stop me dead in my tracks!  This is one of those things.  Check out this blue feather zipper necklace by visual artist Vanessa Yanow. 
Now, I understand that this may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I think that it's rare for something so original, especially in the super saturated jewelry world, to come along.  Made from an actual high-quality, rust-proof, scratch-proof zipper, this necklace features a hand blown, one-of-a-kind glass charm with a feather inside.  Inside!  You can use that charm to zip up your necklace into a choker or leave it long for a plunging neckline.  It's versatile and sure to draw a lot of attention, like a piece of art for your neck!  Check out this one along with a few other equally awe-inspiring designs at Cut + Paste!
