Geek Jewelry: The “Space Invaders” Rings

Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Culture, Retro,

Space Invader Rings Call us paranoid, but we’re beginning to wonder if the aliens in “Space Invaders” really are trying to take over the world: The tote bag. The baby’s mobile. The scarf. The doormat. And now… the rings! Yes, now you can show your love for the classic game 24/7 by wearing one of those pesky aliens (or elusive spaceship) on your finger. Choose one of four designs, each made of pure silver with Rhodium plating. Strangely, we couldn’t find price info on the manufacturer’s website, so you may have to contact them yourself for details.

Introducing the Geek Awareness Bracelet

Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Wearables,

Remember back in the 2004, when it was all about Lance Armstrong’s yellow rubber Livestrong bracelets to benefit cancer research? Even though the trend is passe, that didn’t stop the folks at ThinkGeek from creating a decidedly nerdy version of its own. According to the website, the silicone accessory allows the wearer to promote “geek awareness in every aspect of life.” The yellow bracelet states: “Tux is my homeboy”, the black one: “ThinkGeek”, and the olive one: “I see fragged people.” Wear at your own risk, amigos. Available for $2 USD.

Female Gamers Get their Bling on with the Nintendo Necklace

Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Wearables, Design, Video Games,

Nintendo necklace We loooove this necklace, for two reasons: One, it continues our ~~slightly obsessive~~

trend of spotlighting retro NES controller items, such as the wallet and CD holder. Two, it’s made for female gamers, a group rarely targeted by anyone —except male gamers. It’s the Nintendo Necklace, featuring a lovely cherry blossom design on one side (for her “feminine” side). Turn it over, and BAM!, it’s an equally lovely NES controller (for her “kick-ass” side). Each necklace is handmade by Michigan’s Sarah Lynne, using aluminum, wire, paper and paint. Not into gaming? Check out her other designs. Ms. Lynne is currently taking custom orders for the NES necklace, for $45 USD.

We love that there are technological gadgets that help protect women from criminals…witness the No-Contact Jacket the Cell Phone Stun Gun and even the GPS Platform Sandal. Now comes the Pepper Spray Stunning Ring, which—if you can deal with the cheap-ish look of it—can protect you at all times. The ring holds a dose of pepper spray 400 times stronger than a jalapeno pepper and projects as far as 12 feet, guaranteed to burn and nauseate any potential perps. And don’t worry, the ring actually has a safety, so you won’t accidentally spray a loved one…or yourself. Available for $30 USD, with refills (yes, refills), selling for $8 a pop.

Make Your Own Green Lantern Ring

Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Mods / Hacks,

Green Lantern Rings Green Lantern devotee “Honus” has built his own versions of the original ring, including one that glows. Posting on Instructables, he shows every step but cautions that the ring cannot be sold, even by him (copyright issues, don’t you know.) Still, if you have a smidgen of talent in the area of jewelry-making and access to silver or resin casting supplies, you might give it a shot and make DC Comics glow with happiness because you honored one of their own.
