Gen Z's newest style trend starts with staring deeply into your lover's (or dog's) eyes

• Couples, friends, and pet parents are sharing DIY beaded bracelets on TikTok and Instagram reels.
• The carefully chosen beads in each bracelet match their loved one's eye color.
• This trend echoes the sentiment and imagery of Georgian "lover's eye" jewelry.

If you stumble across the song "Trees and Flowers" by '80s group Strawberry Switchblade on TikTok or Instagram reels, you'll find a slew of beaded bracelets looking back at you — literally.
