Enough tech, more girlie stuff! Jewelry, let’s say? Diamond rings and stuff? Nah, that’s boring. How about a razor blade dripping blood?
Ok, now that I’ve got your attention, here’s what I’m talking about: a Sweeney Todd Dripping Rubies Razor Necklace. The killer barber played by Johnny Depp is the main character in the newest Tim Burton hit and licensed merchandise is already popping up. And, although I usually feel that most products connected to a famous movie are crap designed to get money from fanboys/girls, this necklace plain looks good (even if you haven’t seen Sweeney Todd, which I haven’t).
Unfortunately, the rubies aren’t real (duh). But I bet any girl who wears this will get startled looks when the admirer happens to glance at the innocent blade apparently dripping blood in her lovely clevage… And who knows, she might meet a fellow fan who might get the allusion and not run away.

Does “Baby, why don’t you buy me a diamond necklace?” sound familiar? Well, you’d better start looking for the money, because in my opinion girls like this won’t stick around if you don’t.
But if you have a girlfriend with a sense of humor and who knows you’re not Donald Trump, you can give the Wishlist Necklaces a try. What are they? Well, basically pieces of plastic with various jewelry-related texts. There’s six models available, from the pictured “stunning diamond necklace” to a simple “emerald necklace” to the intricate “beautiful pendant necklace with sapphires and diamond accent. the pendant is set with nine blue sapphires, accented with a diamond at the top. beautiful against the 18K white gold setting.” for girls who spend their time browsing jewelry catalogs.
To recap: not for high-maintenance girls; perfect for girls with a sense of humor or who shun the money-obsessed capitalistic world.

Not all of you people reading this blog remember the golden period of video games (to be honest, neither do I), but virtually everyone who’s a bit of a gamer or a geek or internet addict knows Space Invaders. (You don’t? Here’s a link to Wikipedia, and you can find dozens of simulators online.)
Either as a a form of nostalgia or as a geek statement, the Space Invader Necklace is very cool. Simple enough not to be tacky, unique, and a suble message for the like minds out there. I’d so wear this.

Who said geeks can’t have a sense of fashion? I’ve seen my share of ugly geek jewelry, but there are some pieces that look very good.
Among the latter is the d20 Necklace. It’s a d20 die for the D&D diehard in you, encased in a metal spiral. You can take it out for a game, in case you find yourself without a die, but it looks good as a fashion accessory too, especially if you can wear clothes to match the color. I think I’ve got a purple sweater to match the one in the photo…

Rubik’s Cube is an evil invention. I had one as a kid and I could never spend more than 5 minutes playing with it before I got bored, annoyed or both. What can I say, I don’t have patience for this kind of games.
So don’t buy me the Rubix Necklace.
But, leaving aside my dislike for things that require me to (ugh) think, this necklace looks kind of nice. Of course, if you’re a Rubik’s Cube lover you’ll appreciate it, but even if you’re not, it’s an unique fashion accessory that will draw attention. My only issue with it is… won’t it bump into your neck as you move and give your bruises?
