Blue & Green “Kiki Bouba” Polymer Clay Earrings – Linguist Gift, Science Jewellery, Y2K Nerdy Aesthetic, Abstract Sound Symbolism Shapes

🧠💫 Description:
What do kiki and bouba sound like to you? These handmade Blue & Green Polymer Clay Kiki & Bouba Earrings are inspired by the iconic 1929 psychological experiment by Wolfgang Köhler that explored the mind-blowing link between sound and shape — known as sound symbolism or the Bouba/Kiki effect. 🧪✨

This visual-language crossover experiment found that most people associate spiky shapes with the sound "kiki" and rounded shapes with "bouba" — and now, you can wear that linguistic phenomenon on your ears.

Perfect for linguists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, or anyone who loves their accessories with a side of nerdy cool. Whether you're presenting at a conference or vibing in your local café, these earrings are your new icebreaker. 💬👂

The mix of rich blue and vibrant green adds a dopamine pop to your outfit, while the abstract shapes lean into Y2K, Maximalist, and alt-educator fashion.
