Friday the 13th Necklace

I must hang my head in shame. I — a self-proclaimed horror film geek — have never seen any of the Friday the 13th films. Unless you count Freddy vs. Jason, which I kinda don’t.

Doesn’t mean I’m not immune to the bone-chilling effect Mr. Voorhees has. Just looking at his hockey mask scares me…even in itty-bitty pendant form.

Zanti Jewelry offers this hand-cast metal Friday the 13th pendant, among other unique horror movie themed jewelry, in their Etsy shop.

You may not be able to wear it in time for today’s Friday the 13th, but — like the films — there’ll always be another one. Bwa ha ha!

READER SUBMISSION: Invincibility Star Earrings

Rossana from Roka Cola sent me a link to their shop, and it was like being a kid in a candy store! I mean, it really was, because in addition to these super cool Invincibility Star Earrings, and other great Nintendo, WoW, Portal, Star Trek and zombie stuff made from polymer clay, they also have a lot of fun jewelry made to look like candy, cupcakes, and all manner of delicious things. The Roka Cola Shop it definitely worth checking it out, it is a gold mine of geeky, sweet, and all around awesome polymer clay jewelry and figurines.

Through the Looking Glass Necklace

Lewis Carroll’s Alice has always been one of my favorite literary heroines. She’s bold, bright, and bewildering all at once.

This necklace portrays Alice and the titular looking glass in beautiful brushed steel.

Both elegant and whimsical, it’s a “grown-up” way to show your continued love of the girl who made her way through Wonderland and beyond.

Made by the talented mother-and-daughter team of Penny and Nikki, this (and other Alice-themed creations) is available in their Etsy shop, Untamed Menagerie.

Reader Submission: Vintage Iron Man Coasters

I love Iron Man, and I love not having cup rings on my coffee table, so when Holly from Customcomix sent these to us, I couldn’t resist. She and her boyfriend got into decoupaging one of kind, super cool comic book items (jewelry, coffee tables, coasters, you name it!) when they got their first place and decided the only sure way to make it fit them, would be to make the decor from scratch (and old comic books) the end result is an awesome Etsy shop that I can’t wait to blow some money in!

Dragon Age 2 Cutout Pendant

I admit it. I’m on my second play-through of Dragon Age 2, and I still have no friggin’ idea exactly what this ubiquitous symbol means.

It still makes a cool necklace, though! This eye-catching, silver cutout pendant was made by jewelry-maker Joshua Taylor. It’s a unique and subtle way to show your love of the game.

His Etsy store, Jewelry by Josh, also offers a couple other lovely game-related cutout necklaces, as well as some shiny table-top dice earrings.

(BTW, if anyone could definitively tell me what the symbol stands for, I’d be much obliged!)

EDIT: Josh just let me know that he is offering Geek Crafts readers an exclusive 10% discount on everything in his Etsy shop! Just use coupon code GCB10. Also, if you have an eye on his Portal necklace, drop by his Facebook page to enter his giveaway. Thanks, Josh!
