I find this quaint and quirky jewelry created by Design Glut very intriguing. The Crude Jewelry collection, which is manufactured in monthly batches, is engraved with the date and the price of a barrel of oil on the day the jewelry was made. So far so good. Then there is an annoying and very inconvenient concept in economics called volatility. With oil prices changing with such frequency, wouldn't Crude Jewelry be rendered obsolete almost immediately? I'm just asking.
Here are a few more crude oil awareness campaigns:
