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!

Love It or Leave It? Retro Red and Pink Telephones
I don't think my BlackBerry 'classic phone' ringtone can compete with these shiny and new retroesque red and pink telephones. So they might not have call display or touch tone dialing, but what they lack in features, they totally make up for in style.

Pretend with me with these retro-glam phones.
