Totally Geeky or Geek Chic? Keyboard Key Earrings

GeekSugar — Mon, 19 Feb 2007 15:00:08 -0800

I might be taking it a little far with the geeky jewelry, but if people really want me to wear my heart on my sleeve I have to admit, I think these keyboard earrings, $7.50, are pretty cute.

They were made from the "Home" and "End" keys from a computer keyboard and jazzed up a bit with orange, square, glass beads. Tres chic, no?

I'm always on the lookout for great geeky jewelry, and now with the holidays just around the corner, I'm in need of some adorable gifts for my nieces - and maybe a few goodies for myself.

Channel your inner Princess Toadstool with these Nintendo-inspired Happy Mushroom Earrings ($10). Love 'em? There's an equally cute matching ring and cell phone charm too!

I am all for wearing gadgets as jewelry - well, mini versions anyway, like these Mini Camera Earrings. They're only 12 bucks and are a might more polished in silver than these Wooden Camera-Shaped Earrings.

Are you whimsical enough to rock these? What about your other half? Slap these Camera Cufflinks on your significant other and let your photogs flag fly.

All right now, I am trying to maintain a sense of sophistication, a level of maturity. . . . OK didn't last! I kind of love these Pacman Inky Ghost Earrings ($10).

They're vintage geek, they're blue beads, they're so adorable . . . but can I do it? Can I risk my status as a practical adult and sport these? I don't know! Ack! I'm in crisis mode, clearly.

Can you?

HTML Earrings: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

A lot more wearable than those PWNED Earrings, these HTML earrings manage to be both geekier (for a different reason) and chicer. Handmade by Etsy sellers Nicholas and Felice, this nerd jewelry is something I could actually see myself wearing.

Plain silver rectangles would hang from your lobes, and only a very close look would reveal that you did, indeed, close your "head" tag. I think they're the perfect accessory for a style-conscious blogger - and I think Pat Field would back me up!

Pwned Earrings: Love 'Em or Leave 'Em?

I realize that some of you geeks may not know what "Pwned" means, and for you, well, let's just say that if you were Rickrolled on April Fool's Day then you were pwned.Even though it's my favorite geek term ever, I don't think I'd sport these Pwned Earrings on Etsy. But not because of what they say. Multicolored beaded earrings just are not necessarily how I would prefer to roll. But do I love them? Yes.

Telephone Earrings: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

Geek jewelry is a delicate thing; it's so easy to take it from cute and fun to dangerously silly.

I'm not totally sure that these Telephone Earrings ($10) fit into that category - they are pretty freakin' cute (and being landline style, getting into the realm of vintage geek), but would I wear them to meet my boyfriend's mother? Dilemma!

It might be a tough time to show you're a Machead by purchasing a new MacBook, but you can save hundreds and still have something MacBook and something new (to you) - with these Power Button Earrings ($30), made from real MacBook power buttons.

A declaration of your brand loyalty and totally geektastic, they're fun and kinda tasteful. Those who may not love these are PC users and those whose fashion flair doesn't include recycled laptop parts.

Where do you stand?

BlackBerry Earrings: Love 'Em or Leave 'Em?

Too bad they're not bluetooth enabled! These tiny Blackberry Earrings ($19) might be a good idea for the BlackBerry lover, but you know what's not a good idea? Putting your phone up to your ear while you're wearing these!

Those hook backings are going to scratch something, whether it's your tender skin behind your ear or your tender BlackBerry screen. What do you think, cute novelty for the phone addict in your life or harmful object?

Recycled Capacitor Earrings: Love 'Em or Leave 'Em?

Looks like Etsy artist digiBling has caught Spring fever, too! If I didn't know these earrings had a previous life as capacitors, I'd probably still like them, because the citrus thing? So hot right now. In fact, all of digiBling's jewelry is made from real electronic components, and it says that you can order something custom if you don't see something you like!

What do you think of these electronics-turned jewelry?
