If you love emojis and gold, I’ve got good news for you. Some of my most popular emoji single stud earrings — including the middle finger — are now being made in gold-plated silver and, for the moment, they’re available exclusively at Nylon Magazine’s online shop<\/a>. Nylon did this awesome gif with four of the earrings for its newsletter:<\/p>\n

The emoji earrings are still available on my site <\/a>in silver for $35 each and in 18K gold for $225 each. The gold-plated earrings, priced at $50 each, are great option for people who love the color gold but want to keep their purchases below $100. And the pieces, still have that touch of luxury that I like because the underlying metal is still silver instead of brass. You can’t go wrong with a precious metal!<\/p>\n

I’m a longtime fan of Nylon because it takes chances and stays cutting-edge — for instance, it featured my swear rings in 2012.<\/p>\n

That makes this collaboration a perfect fit. In addition to the middle finger emoji earring<\/a>, #nylonshop is offering the gold-plated versions of the pill<\/a>, okay sign<\/a>, peace sign<\/a>, punching fist<\/a>, raised hand<\/a>, sign of the horns<\/a>, thumbs up<\/a> and Vulcan salute<\/a> emoji earrings. Also available: a gold-plated version of my “Screw U<\/a>” earrings and the classic silver hashtag ring<\/a>. I expect more styles to be available soon. You can follow Nylon on Twitter here <\/a>and on Instagram here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Emojis are truly the talk of the town lately. Yesterday’s New York Times Sunday Styles section had a story by Jessica Bennett under a headline declaring: “The Emoji Have Won the Battle of Words<\/a>.” (Take this New York Times quiz<\/a> to see how adept you are at translating entire emoji sentences.) And, Thursday, when I attended Katy Perry’s concert at Barclays Center, I was amused to see the smiling-poop and other emojis turned into giant balloons.<\/p>\n

An earlier part of Katy’s show was Egyptian-themed — including dancing mummies and a life-size horse puppet in Pharaonic regalia.<\/p>\n

That got me thinking about Egyptian hieroglyphic writing, which I was fascinated by as a kid. That’s when the light bulb over my head clicked on.<\/p>\n

No wonder I like emojis so much! In one way, they’re completely modern and the opposite of my love of history, which influences my luxury jewelry line<\/a>. In another way, they’re a continuation of my interest in history: I used to dream of being fluent in hieroglyphs … and now I am!<\/p>\n

UPDATED NOV. 17, 2014, TO ADD: The collaboration with Nylon has concluded. All emoji jewelry can still be purchased from my site<\/a>. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
