Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Whimey Jewelry

You’ll have to forgive me for posting about Doctor Who twice in a row, but I was unable to control my excitement when I came across this jewelry.

Anyone who knows me well, knows I really love hand stamped jewelry. Whether it’s hand stamped leather, or hand stamped metal, I think it’s one of the prettiest and simplest pieces of jewelry a girl can own. However, I hadn’t ever searched for hand stamped fandom jewelry. When I clicked search on Etsy at this time, I had no idea I could never go back.

I immediately was drawn to the work done at Chasing at Starlight on Etsy. The fonts for the many different items (I’m a font harlot), along with all the jewelry for my many different fandoms (Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones, Sherlock), made me completely geek out.

All of them are so beautifully made! They’ve made my list for my next geek jewelry purchase!

Let the Games Begin…

And with the opening of the new Hunger Games movie, based on the book, of the same name, they have. I may be one of the few people left who have not read the books yet but I recognize the symbols from it after all the publicity surrounding it.

I also recognize hand crafting talent and these pieces definitely fall in that category. A stenciled shirt and polymer pins bearing the Mockingjay symbol hat people have come to know from this series. The work of Miss K, daughter of PJCrafty, her mother who is very talented as well, the pins and shirt are just a few of the fandom items she has created in the past couple of years.

I do believe, the odds will always be in her favor with this kind of crafty talent.

Lucky and Lovable

I’m not sure if The Neverending Story is truly geeky or just beloved by children of the ’80s, but dragons are inherently a bit geeky, no? At least that’s my reasoning behind sharing this Falcor [sic] the Luck Dragon necklace. Also: It’s flat-out adorable. As are some of the other goodies in Rude & Reckless’ Etsy shop—this Monocled Octopus Necklace is particularly enchanting.

Talk Gallifreyan to Me!

When it comes to Doctor Who, I am an unapologetic fangirl. One of the things I find the most interesting is the language of Gallifrey. We’ve only seen bits and pieces of it throughout the series, but every time there is a new symbol or word written in Gallifreyan, I get giddy.

Which is why, when I ran across ER3 Designs Gallifreyan themed jewelry, I let out a giggle of happiness. The most common Gallifrey symbol turned craft is the Seal of Rassilon. ER3 Designs also have the symbol for Time Lord and the Seal of Omega.

These are perfect for anyone wanting to show off their inner (or rather, outer) timelord.

Miss Atomic Jewelry

The other day, after something like twenty minutes talking with a coworker, I noticed that her cameo necklace was no normal cameo. “What a cool necklace!” I exclaimed, “Is that Cthulhu?” She laughed and said, “No, it’s just a normal octopus.” (A third coworker was confused by the exchange.) It was this one, which is adorable, right?

Anyway, after browsing around, I’ve decided that Miss Atomic’s shop is just the sort of thing that I need to bring to the attention of the Geek Crafts community. I kind of like cameos, or, at least, I feel like I should. But I’m not drawn to them enough to ever buy one. Or I wasn’t, until I saw this shop. Not only does she have weird skull cameos, owls, octopodes, and skulls-and-crossbones, but she also makes some of her cameos multi-colored, like this flamingo one. So cool!

A Clockwork Earring

I have a confession: I really don’t do steampunk. I don’t know why—I think it’s visually appealing, reminds me of Jules Verne and Firefly (both good things), and I get the rationale…I guess it’s just not for me. Maybe it doesn’t quite fit in with my overall personal style, which otherwise seems to encompass a helluva lot. Even with that disclaimer, I wouldn’t mind adding one of these babies to my jewelry collection. In fact, I like quite a few of the wearable geegaws and doodads in Jynx’s Box—they clearly convey the steampunk aesthetic (steampunkery? steampunkness?) without being so over-the-top that you couldn’t wear them without looking costumey.
