Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Earbud Earrings

May 2, 2007

These aren't the first iPod jewelry items I've ever seen, but they certainly invoke the most questions. While some i-jewelry plays off the chic side of headphones and gadgetry, designer Ashley Gehman's iArtifact project features non-functional iPod ear buds as silver jewelry. To me it feels like a giant dose of extreme i-crazy and dare I say it, tacky tech art? I appreciate the geek factor, but the last thing I want in my earring holes are thick, cold silver earbud molds.

Yuck-a-roo! Don't they disguise earbuds to look like earrings? Why reverse it?!?! "Party like a rock star, pound like a porn star, play like an all star!"
