Does anyone know where I can find a pair of diamond encrusted safety-pin earrings?

I personally haven't seen any diamond earrings that are shaped like safety pins, but I assume that you can take those gold and diamond safety pins that are sold for baby diapers or school-girl plaid skirts and simply stick them in your ears and wear them as earrings. You'll have to make sure, of course, that the safety pin you buy is small enough with a thin enough thread to go through your ear-hole, but I imagine that this would be 1) way less expensive and 2) would give you a bit more variety in terms of style.

Well, I don't know about the diamond safety-pin earrings encrusted with black diamonds, but I have seen diamond-encrusted safety-pin earrings being sold in New York. In fact, at Barney's there was a pair of Ilena Makri earrings being showcased in their jewelry section not long ago. These were rather long, and were not yellow gold. As I recall, this pair was made of oxidized white gold and was encrusted with white diamonds, not black diamonds. I did think that they were absolutely fabulous. From what I remember, the price was rather steep - something like $3,500 - which is why I didn't keep my eyes on them for that long.

The only diamond encrusted safety-pin earrings that I have come across so far are by Ileana Makri, the famous jewelry designer. The earrings are only available in the UK from what I understand, at a store called "Brown's boutique". The earrings are made out of yellow gold and have a diamond encrusted safety catch at the bottom- encrusted with 4.20 grams of black pave diamonds. They are meant to hang upside-down on your ears and thread through your ears. They are, however, quite pricey, and will cost you a whopping £1,995 which is $3,264.
