Dapper Video Game Jewelry

These Rings and Earrings Look Just Like Old Nintendo Cartridges

— April 30, 2013 — Fashion
This dapper video game jewelry is the perfect accessory for your next geeky get together.

These rings and earrings by designer Jess Firsoff of Etsy store 'ohmygeekness' are the epitome of geek chic. The video game jewelry amazingly references the golden Legend of Zelda cartridge in ring form. The cartridges are emblazoned in a protective glaze to ensure that they last a long time under regular use. What's even better is that Firsoff takes requests for the video game jewelry, so you can actually request any old NES game you want depicted on the jewelry.

I'm not suggesting you get into any fights, but it's funny to think that if you punched someone in the face while wearing one of these rings, you could leave an NES cartridge imprint!

1. Geeky Jewelry - There is a growing trend for unique, geek-inspired jewelry among casual and avid gamers alike.
2. Retro Gaming Culture - The increasing popularity of retro gaming culture highlights a possible market opportunity for unique, old-school gaming merchandise.
