iArtifact earrings mimic Apple iPod earbuds

Don't count on Ashley Gehman's rendition of Apple's stock earbuds to come bundled in with a special edition iPod anytime soon, but if you're looking to permanently affix such icons to your lobes as a tribute to your fangirlism, these are for you. The iArtifact iPod earbud earrings look to be made from sterling silver, sport the tell-tale dimples across the top, and on top of all that, they're wireless. All jesting aside, these completely non-musical body adornments should light up the eyes of your favorite lady, and while these haven't gone commercial just yet (probably some papers left to sign regarding that whole Made for iPod agenda), we could definitely see these things selling like hotcakes in Apple stores worldwide.

Interesting...but will they stay put on your earlobes or will they fall off easily just like the (original) iPod earphones do?

[Tony Rayo @ May 1st 2007 5:27AM]

They are earrings, they just don't show you the clasp in the picture. They will stay on your ear just like any other earrings.

in case you are too beautiful: this product helps! and it will also make you appear like an Apple zombie - two uses in just ONE product. ORDER NOW!

"Hey she's got silver earphones!"
"GET HER!"
**Rrrrip***
"AIEEEEEEEEE!"

Uhm....I think not.
They seem to have got it backwards. I want earbuds that look like jewelry.(and I'm not talking some blinged out, Paris Hilton garbage) Not jewelry that looks like sterile, utilitarian, earbuds

you know someone's gonna accidentally jam one of those *in* their ear...

There's clever, and there's punch-in-the-face. A silver pendant that looks like a pez candy is clever. These are Mussolini head-kick.

I thought for a second they were real buds that could be bluetooth'd. Perfect one up for all those kids cheating.

[Dave Zatz @ May 1st 2007 8:07AM]

I hope they come with instructions NOT to insert into ear canal... could be painful.

[Greenline @ May 1st 2007 8:59AM]

Are they Bluetooth?

[kohbosan @ May 1st 2007 9:27AM]

ur retarded

[Greenline @ May 1st 2007 9:30AM]

Wow you thought I was serious that is awesome. Anyway I would love earbuds that looked just like this that were bluetooth (and obviously not earrings!)

[McHoffa @ May 1st 2007 9:20AM]

who would actually buy those and wear them? those are really ugly earrings...

[gizpro @ May 1st 2007 11:32AM]

these are great commentary on product, love 'em

[Sam @ May 1st 2007 1:06PM]

fangirlism? come on now, i wear earings and im a guy. i'd never wear those, or anything resembling an ipod, though.

[carter skemp @ May 1st 2007 2:44PM]

the earbuds are from a designer in philadelphia doing a project that is a commentary on the ubiquitousness of branded product in our lives.

hmmm why are they old gen earbuds?

[Klea @ May 2nd 2007 3:05AM]

Personally think these are pointless...seriously who wants to wear ear rings that look like ear buds? Why not wear ear buds? Humm strange

[simon @ May 2nd 2007 3:54AM]

Quite possibly the sadest most desperate attempt at pop culture... Jesus the Ipod earphones are totaly shite anyhow...

[ashley gehman @ May 2nd 2007 1:21PM]

hello I am Ashley Gehman, the designer for the iartifact project. Thank you so much for all your comments and posting this project. I appreciate your feedback, it is invaluable to such a project. I would like to add that I am not often mistaken for a male, it is an interesting aspect in recent blogs I have been referenced as a he.
I am a she :)

all the best!
