I had suspected the term “bling-bling” was over for some time, but it became official for me when I heard my mom say it, eyes wide with anticipation of my response. But this medallion is cool enough that I’ll forgive the name. It’s in the shape of a cross made of paper-thin layers of gold-plated steel logos of uber-corporations like Coca Cola, McDonalds, Nescafe, and Playboy.

3.5″ long

This is so cool. A quote from CompactImpact’s site:

“Moi: a wearable electronic radiant light device. A sparkle. A moment of magic. Wear it, hold it, give it. Moi is for you to do as you please. What is Moi? : Moi is a wearable accessory representing a moment of magic. It is a sparkle that creates a trail. A gift. : Moi is powered by a 3 volt replacable battery (available almost everywhere). So Moi lasts forever. : Moi is a true NY child, manufactured in its entirety in NY state. Moi comes in amber, green and now in a brilliant, ultra reflective white.”

There you go.

‘Fancy’ out of Seattle has several cool pieces of jewelry, but what I think is the coolest is the bracelet that that you can customize the text on.

Intoto design cuts out the middle-man by designing a ring in which the ring itself serves as the setting.

Have you ever been lost in a new city and tried to read a map? And then when it came time for you to figure out which way north was, did you look for the sun and try to remember if the sun sets in the east or west? Well, I have. And it’s confusing. Avoid the trouble with this compass ring.
