I was going to write about how some people like to follow trends, while others like being original, and I realized I wasn’t right. Many of the “originals” are just following their own trend - it’s now cool to wear handmade objects, to ransack your mum’s closet for 70s clothes and/or to be geeky. And, as far as trends go, I love it. People who follow it are likely to be kindred spirits.

While I doubt it’s handmade, I see the Cassette Tape Necklace as a future hit with retro fans and geeks alike, maybe even eco-minded people. The pendant is cut from an old vinyl record into the shape of the cassette tape and it has three things going for it:
- originality (everyone will notice a black tape among all the silvery and gold pendants around)
- recycling (those vinyl would’ve been thrown away, right?)
- commentary on life (ok, maybe that’s too much to say, but the tape replaced the vinyl and now it’s been replaced by the CD… what’s next?)

If you’re looking for special jewelry and you’re bored with the traditional precious metals and gemstones… look no further.
