Geek Jewelry

I have heard a lot of my geek girlfriends exclaim about how much they want the Fuze Necklace found in ThinkGeek's tech jewelry. I am personally not as interested in that particular piece of geek jewelry, but I have found several other things that piqued my interest.

I was inspired to write this post when I found Stewart Jewelry Designs, which makes jewelry that actually looks like normal beaded jewelry, but when you look closer, it's actually a bunch of diodes resistors, capacitors, etc. Here is one of their bracelets:

Then I came across an Etsy shop that makes cute little charms. They have an adorable goomba one. My favorite though is the Wii-mote earrings:



Unfortunately, I don't think these Powerbook earrings are available for retail:



Though if you really like the idea of wearing parts from Apple computers, you can buy these tackier pieces. But if you really like tacky geek jewelry, I would say LED jewelry would be a better fit.

Even though I think these are hideous, I felt like I had to include them in this post because there just seem to be a ton of geeky rings out there. Of course everyone wants the One Ring from LOTR (I'm not even going to bother linking an example), but I'm not sure about the appeal for some of the rest of these. Earlier this week, I came across these Transformers ones. There's also a signet ring for Space Invaders. There's a bartender downtown with a neat D20 necklace, but a D20 ring?

I have to say though, these Pacman rings are actually pretty cute.



Then you get to wedding rings. These ethernet rings are truly dorky.



They seem way too bulky to actually wear. Though this anniversary band has some potential.

And finally we get to my favorite piece of geek jewelry... a piece that would be gorgeous even without the geek aspect of it: Philips/Swarovski Heart Beat 1GB USB Drive



Unfortunately I don't see it on the US Apple site, but the Irish site sells it as well.
