Geeky camera jewelry generally falls in one of several categories: over-the-top geeky, sweet and kitchy, or maybe priced higher than an actual camera. I'm still undecided about this funky Camera Obscura Necklace ($14) from ModCloth, but I dig the idea of wearing what you love on your sleeve. Or in this case around your neck.

Now that we know that Polaroid is officially back from the dead, let's try and forget about the last year of mourning and focus on the fun: Polaroid-themed accessories!

When it comes to video game motifs making the leap from screen to accessory, Space Invaders has everybody beat.
Whether they're on a minidress, an ice cube tray, or even a cutting board, the pixelated characters remain a favorite.
The gold Space Invader Necklace by Han Cholo is a logical transition — it was only a matter of time before someone cast it in a precious metal (and yow, asked $165 for it).

The last time I used a payphone was a desperate time indeed — and I didn't love thinking about how icky the receiver and keys were when I was using it. I'd have no fear with the keys on this Payphone Bracelet ($62); though their origin is authentic, I'm sure they've been Purelled.
Recycling old keys into new bracelets is a pretty cool trend — maybe it's a bit premature for a Cell Phone Key Bracelet, but a Typewriter Key Bracelet is spot on.

In all honesty, I've never really been a charm-bracelet girl. Even if I had been, I think I've outgrown the years I would have been enthusiastic about collecting the charms, and now I usually see bracelets that reflect a cell phone obsession I'm not comfortable with.
But this Typewriter Charm Bracelet — made of various keys from vintage typewriters — is too cool, and even for me, age appropriate.

Legos have completely infiltrated our wearables, something I don't mind at all. Not that I'll be wearing a Lego-print dress or anything anytime soon, but I love seeing how many different ways the toy blocks can be worked into clothes or accessories.
Which is why I can't hate these Gold Lego Studs ($6) — especially since they look like regular-old studs from far away!

I've been seeing a bug trend lately in accessories, so it's kind of rad that this Jeweled Bug Flash Drive Necklace capitalizes on the trend, while doubling as a handy flash drive.
The 2GB $19 necklace is the latest in a surprisingly long line of USB necklaces, like the Crystal Rose USB Necklace and the I Heart U USB Necklace, which are also jeweled. They didn't have to be jeweled for me to notice them, but it doesn't hurt.

So this geeky bracelet is not Hermès. It's also not $567.
Instead, this Tetris Bracelet ($70) is pretty cool and while exceptionally geeky, it's not unwearable.

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?

I'm used to seeing cute little robot accessories, and there's even some that are nice enough to wear in public — which this Robo Necklace by Catherine Michiels definitely is. In fact, it's so nice, it's made of 14 karat gold, rubies, and diamonds, which conspire to make the $815 price tag.
I think it's rad that something so geeky is getting the gold treatment, but if you're dropping that kind of coin, would you want something a little more .
