http://www.geeksugar.com/ Geek is chic. en http://www.geeksugar.com/574977 <p>Some tech-inspired jewelry can be, well, geeky and unattractive. Such is not the case with the <a href="http://fancyjewels.com/home.php" target="_blank">Fancy</a> line, created by designer Sally Brock, who has been designing jewelry since she was 13. The line, which is available online and at her Seattle, Washington studio, is made up of an impressive selection of handmade rings, earrings, bracelets and gifts with a distinctive geek flair. I adore the <a href="http://fancyjewels.com/product.php?id=measuringTape_rings" target="_blank">Measuring Tape Ring</a>, $65, and the <a href="http://fancyjewels.com/product.php?id=doubleBikini_rings" target="_blank">Double Bikini Ring</a>, $200, which looks like a Hazmat symbol or propeller. Also, the <a href="http://fancyjewels.com/product.php?id=binary_wedding" target="_blank">Binary wedding Bands</a> encrusted with gems offer a fun and colorful kick to the normally anesthetic-looking binary bands.<br /> <span class="inline left"><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/users/1/15111/35_2007/measuringTape.preview.jpg" alt="" title="" class="image outline preview" height="352" width="550"></span><br /> <a href="http://2modern.blogs.com/2modern/2007/08/fancy-this.html" target="_blank">Source: 2Modern</a> </p> http://www.geeksugar.com/574977#comment binary wedding ring Fancy geek jewelry Sally Brock Thu, 30 Aug 2007 07:00:19 -0700 geeksugar http://www.geeksugar.com/574977 http://www.geeksugar.com/181411 <!-- no strip poll --><!-- no rss --><div id="epoll-view-181411"></div><script type="text/javascript">new Ajax.Request('/epoll/view/181411',{method:'get',onSuccess:function(transport){var epoll=$('epoll-view-181411');epoll.update(transport.responseText);}});</script><noscript><!-- /no rss --><p><p><span class="inline left"><img src="http://images.teamsugar.com/files/users/1/15111/12_2007/GW001.jpg" alt="" title="" class="image right preview" height="190" width="325"></span>Over and over I tell the world: geeks are just like you and me. And then I run across something like the <a href="http://www.greenkarat.com/detail.asp?product_id=GW001" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Binary Wedding Band</a>, which is hand carved by artist Gideon Weisz, and I wonder. I like to say that I'd probably adore any ring my fiancé slipped onto my finger, but having recently enlisted my sister to be his stylist when that day comes, I'll freely admit my ring snob tendencies run a little high. </p> <p>Says the <a href="http://www.greenkarat.com/detail.asp?product_id=GW001" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">seller's website</a>: Computers, like our love, are built upon very simple foundations. In the case of computers, that foundation is binary code. These sophisticated, yet simple rings ($950) bear your personalized message in that computer code. </p> <p>Being that this is a band, I am going to assume this is predominantly aimed at the kind of guy that <a href="/122037" rel="nofollow">proposed to his girlfriend with a Mac widget</a>, in which case, congrats!</p> </p><!-- no strip poll --><form action="/181411" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>Binary Wedding Bands - I Do or I Don&#039;t?</label> <div class="form-item"> <label class="option"><input type="radio" name="edit[choice]" value="0" class="form-radio" /> I Do.
