Who says geeks can’t be fashionable?  Feast thine eyes upon such elegant items of technologically-inspired (and salvaged) accessorization as these earrings ($8) crafted from real green resistors by seller digiBling on DIY marketplace site Etsy.  You can also find other electronics components jewelry like a rainbow ribbon cable belt ($14), microchip cufflinks ($12) and more.  If you know Etsy, you know that the items are all hand-crafted and their availability can change, so check the digiBling store and if you see something you like, grab it!  Potential Valentine’s Day gifts for your techie sweetie?

Wow, this takes me back to my early childhood, when I made a lovely necklace with the parts to one of my Dad’s Heathkits; he was not appreciative. I made earrings too, but I had to literally hook them over my ears as no one had pierced ears then….
