If you are the kind of person who would always be seen with an iPod or an MP3 player, chances are most of your friends bitch about you looking uncool with those earphones always hanging around your neck. They can’t be blamed either because when you dress well, you can’t afford to mar your looks by wearing a geeky earphone all the time.

Here is how you could find a remedy to that problem. Nathan Thomas has come up with a cool new limited edition necklace which doubles up as iPod earphones. It is apparently a replica so I doubt it would function as earphones but they certainly do look awesome. The necklace is available at Oye Modern, an online shop based in Australia.

The artist is based in Sydney and he must be well aware of people’s craze for iPods and iPhones. The ubiquitous iPod earphones can now be worn as pendants thanks to his creative thinking. All I wish is, the necklace actually functioned as an earphone! However, there is no information about it functioning so it just must be a replica that looks really chic. Get one immediately!

Perfume bottle necklaces have been a part of a fashion history for a along time now. Well, didn’t the fashionistas of yore carry their favorite fragrance wrapped around their necks most of the times. Yes, small intricately decorated flasks have been sported by main chains to let the pretty ladies take a dab of their perfume whenever and wherever they liked. This old tradition is not re-entering the market courtesy designer Chhaya Kapadia under the brand Maya Jewels.

We are told that Chhaya built her company based on three principles – intricate designs, use of forgotten traditions of art and skilled craftsmanship. Her creations are surrounded by bright colors and rather elaborate designs thanks to the strong impression her upbringing in Mumbai, India made on her.

Magazines like Town & Country, W magazine and Elle have celebrated Chhaya’s collections. On asking the designer on adding the perfume bottles to her collections, she very candidly admits that she wanted to highlight the ‘romantic’ side of life. These delicately carved perfume bottle necklaces are sold in the range between $1,500 and $15,000.

Pearls are considered as accessories that are pure and thus convey peace once worn besides maintaining its elegance. I have a fad for pearls and currently my kit is over populated with variety of pearl necklace. But this is no reason to stop me hunting from catching the latest trends and that too when my marriage is on cards. My profession doesn’t allow me to spend so much time on shopping and thus I fall amongst that category of netizens who do all transactions online including shopping.

And I realized its worth after visiting pearlnecklacejewelry.com that is a storehouse of elite jewelry offering and i simply adore Black Pearl Necklace, Freshwater Pearl Necklace, Akoya Pearl Necklace and many other pearly accessories. These are authentic Japanese Akoya saltwater and freshwater pearls. Each pearl is hand-picked and hand-knotted with delicacy and are appraised by a IGI Graduate Gemologist to be 100% genuine.

Their appeal is such that they end up inviting eyeballs and compliments even if carried with a pain black gown. I am enthralled to get some but waiting for an occasion as an excuse demanding pearl jewelry as gift from my hubby. They are priced between $200-$50, which is quite affordable and a neat deal to make. If not for yourself, they can be considered as a best option to gift someone. I would suggest you to stroll through the site once to get a feel of their valuable collection and can guarantee that you won’t come back empty handed.
