Fancy Geek Jewelry Hits The Chic Spot

GeekSugar — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 07:00:19 -0700

Some tech-inspired jewelry can be, well, geeky and unattractive. Such is not the case with the Fancy line, created by designer Sally Brock, who has been designing jewelry since she was 13. The line, which is available online and at her Seattle, Washington studio, is made up of an impressive selection of handmade rings, earrings, bracelets and gifts with a distinctive geek flair. I adore the Measuring Tape Ring, $65, and the Double Bikini Ring, $200, which looks like a Hazmat symbol or propeller. Also, the Binary wedding Bands encrusted with gems offer a fun and colorful kick to the normally anesthetic-looking binary bands.

Binary Wedding Bands - I Do or I Don't?

GeekSugar — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 07:05:00 -0700

Over and over I tell the world: geeks are just like you and me. And then I run across something like the Binary Wedding Band, which is hand carved by artist Gideon Weisz, and I wonder. I like to say that I'd probably adore any ring my fiancé slipped onto my finger, but having recently enlisted my sister to be his stylist when that day comes, I'll freely admit my ring snob tendencies run a little high.

Says the seller's website: Computers, like our love, are built upon very simple foundations. In the case of computers, that foundation is binary code. These sophisticated, yet simple rings ($950) bear your personalized message in that computer code.

Being that this is a band, I am going to assume this is predominantly aimed at the kind of guy that proposed to his girlfriend with a Mac widget, in which case, congrats!

Binary Encoder Ring: Love It or Leave It?

Binary apparel is so hot right now! First it was that awesomely chic clothing line Rhombus, and now there's this Binary Encoder Ring by designer Jonathan Ben-Tovim.

Now if I were going to wear a binary ring, I'd pick this over the metal Binary Wedding Ring - the material is rad looking, and you can of course customize the code, but no price on it kinda scares me. I think they're cool and classy, but I could see others not being as into them. What do you think?

On geek, it's not only the gadgets that are shiny - jewelry tributes to my favorite tech are one of the many reasons I'm psyched to be a girl geek.

2008 has been a great year for pretty (and not just pretty funny) geek jewelry, with my faves consisting of those tough Lego Studs, the clearly fab Binary Rings, the mini Computer Necklace, those hand-crafted BlackBerry Earrings, the LOL Necklace, the romantic Cat 5 Wedding Rings, the hilarious PWND Earrings, and the Periodic Table Rings. Weigh in below on your fave (and in the rest of our Best of 2008 polls as well)!
