Nerd jewelry roundup: Guitar Hero cufflinks, gilded Atari ring and EQ wedding bands

by Darren Murph, posted Mar 31st 2009 at 8:22AM

Not that we haven't seen nerdy wedding bands before, but for those who aren't really enamored with networking, we've stumbled upon another option that's just too awesome to pass up. Granted, the sound wave bands have been around a finger or two, but really, how awesome is a wedding ring with an EQ interpretation of "I Do" engraved in it? We'll tell you -- really awesome. Moving on, we've got the 1981 Atari ring, a solid piece of kit sporting an original Atari chip splashed with gold or silver. Lastly, we've got Cufflinks.com's latest, a set of Guitar Hero links that will undoubtedly make the faux rocker in your life grin from ear to ear. Dig in below for more details, but don't expect to purchase any of 'em but the last, and at $50 per pair, you should probably think twice.

We've covered a surprisingly robust number of nerdy cufflinks in our day -- now this, the Watch Movement "Cuffless" Cufflink. Designed by Grace Acosta, these faux cufflinks made from "shiny vintage watch movements" snap onto the cuff buttons of an ordinary oxford shirt -- no fancy french cuff required. $55 and available now, ironic mustache not included.

One megabit EPROM cufflinks for the jetset nerd

Sure, we mostly kick gaming-themed cufflinks when we hit the town in our finest French cuffs, but we're definitely looking into getting a set of these hot one megabit EPROM links to spice things up a bit. Made by Flickr user JMarler as a birthday present for a friend, they're certainly unique -- but come on, we demand at least 1GB of wrist-based storage in this day and age.

Wiimote cuff links: an accelerometer short of greatness

by Darren Murph, posted Apr 22nd 2008 at 7:35AM

It's somewhat unfortunate that they kept you waiting, but the same folks who brought those Sony fanboys their very own PlayStation controller cuff links have now doled out an option for Mario's closest of friends. The Wiimote cuff links don't stop with just a sterling silver Wiimote -- oh no, you'll also find a finely crafted nunchuk on the bottom end to keep the purists smiling. Sure, an actual Wii console only demands an extra Benjamin over the $150 pair, but it's not like you can find the former in stock anywhere, anyway.

PlayStation controller cuff links impress Sony interviewers

For the ladies out there, we've no doubt that rocking a set of Wiimote earrings would totally increase your chances of lookin' ~~good~~ stupendous in a Nintendo interview room, but for the folks hoping to get a leg up on the competition for that open spot at Sony, here's your ticket. These sterling silver cuff links each measure 0.75- x 0.5-inches and closely resemble the famed PlayStation controller, and in case that wasn't overboard enough, you can even opt to engrave the backing with Sony's stock ticker symbol for extra brownie points. Sure, $150 seems a bit steep for the pair, but practically guaranteeing yourself employment is probably worth the cost. Click on for an on-shirt shot.

Not sure if you heard, but French cuffs are officially way, way in, mon ami. Especially since you can wear them with cuff links of le dorque variety, as pictured above. Trés bon.
