Half a dozen oysters, $25

Normally half a dozen fresh oysters on the half shell tops out at about $16, and the pleasure you get from the cold, briny mollusks is worth it. Sadly, it's a short-lived buzz. Jeweler Erica Weiner satisfies the craving for more with her quirky oyster earrings.

The dimensional shells are cast in brass and hang from short gold-plated hooks, with plastic stoppers to keep the lightweight earrings in place. At just $25, these baby bivalves should have the same aphrodisiac effect as a plate of the real thing -- no shucking required.

Order at EricaWeiner.com, and check out her fun cicada earrings and pretzel knot necklaces while you're at it.
