The latest Eye Jewellery Project was revealed in 2008. The project was designed by Eric Klarenbeek, an artist. This eye jewellery was displayed in an exhibition of jewellery influenced by the natural world, described as “a heady mix of taxidermy, genetic-engineered jewellery and natural pearls". The exhibition was hosted by The Wonder Room at Selfridges department store in London.
