No plans yet for Valentine’s Day (it’s this Sunday, FYI)? Plan on sitting home alone at your computer instead of with that special someone? Why not buy your computer some jewelry of it’s own? These metal decorations stick onto the side or top of your monitor or laptop and fancy up the joint. And you can pretty much guarantee that your computer isn’t going to dump you on Valentine’s Day like your last girlfriend.

This fantastically geeky ring set is made from one sterling silver Pac-Man ring and 3 smaller black onyx dot rings. Together they form a little Pac-Man scene. If you had a giant jeweled pinky ring it could work nicely as a power pellet too. They run $106 and are handmade to order.

Art Lebedev’s (ru) design firm has come up with yet another unique take on an ordinary product. The Punctirus is a jewelry design that works as either a bracelet or a necklace. It looks like a tiny scissor cutting along the dotted line. When worn it looks…well it looks a little creepy to be honest, especially around the neck:
It’s unclear if this design will be sold or it’s just a one-off concept.
You microchip your dog to keep him from getting lost, so why not microchip your lady too? With jewelry that is. These interesting pendants from Aerogem are made from onyx or sterling silver and have a hand painted microchip in the middle. The microchip is purely decorative as far as I can tell. Although if your girlfriend or wife is a paranoid conspiracy theorist, these might not make the best gifts for obvious reasons. For any other geek girl, they’re a playful yet pretty nod to technology. Aerogem also sells jewelry made of Aerogel which is some crazy synthetic super light solid material that looks like smoke but is solid and made by extracting the liquid component of a gel.
No that’s not an array of chairs lying down in a circle, it’s a chair necklace (although if you really did want to get technical it IS an array of chairs lying in a circle). It doesn’t look particularly comfortable to wear but since I don’t wear necklaces I can’t really vouch for that. I guess if you’re a really big fan of chairs (and really who isn’t these days?) you’d want to show the world what you love at all times. Interesting jewelry piece.

Very geeky! We’ve seen single keyboard key jewelery of various types here but you have to be an ubernerd to get one with a 3 key combination! Yes control alt delete might not be as ubergeeky as say Command Q or shift F7 but it’s still waaaaay geekier than just getting a pendant with your initial or initials on it. Unless your initials happen to be Cntrl Alt Del in which case your parents are the biggest geeks ever and completely illogical with a complete disregard for the English language. You might as well change your name to an unpronounceable symbol like Prince did.
So getting back to the jewelry, this three key pendant is mounted on a glass tile pendant which is on an 18″ silver and black beaded chain, and incorporate a silver plated hook-and-eye clasp to make closure security a real snap. They cost $39 (although in my opinion they could sell a lot more by pricing them at a geekier number like $42 or $64, even if it’s higher).

Usually when we cover Swarovski covered gadgets we use words like gaudy, tacky, wtf, bling, and fugly. Not so with the Swarovski D:light line of watches- these are pretty classy! Available in one of two colors
the watch is covered in 171 crystals and looks just like a fancy bracelet until you press the button to display the time. Multi-function jewelry at it’s finest. If you’ve got a spare $1500 or $1700 (depending on color) lying around, there’s no reason not to buy one of these. I just bought 5 of them.
