I have come across a ton of circuit board jewelry in my time, but none quite like these Circuit Board Pendants. Created by Design Glut, these pendants are actually made out of stainless steel that is cut to look like a circuit board.
The pendants each hang from a 16-inch chain and appear to be unisex, with the exception of the circuit board heart necklace, which seems to be made especially for female techies. The pendants sell for $60, which is not cheap, but it's also not bad for a piece of jewelry that is both high-quality and highly original. You can see the pendants, along with the more "traditional" pieces of circuit board jewelry, here. There will come a time when jewelry made of computer components will be more valuable than diamonds, mark my words.
