How this fashionable Apple AirPods necklace makes sure you never lose them again

Apple’s AirPods ushered in a new generation of audio accessories and put the 3.5mm headphone jack on its way to retirement. But while the previously ridiculed wireless earbuds have practically become the new trend, unsurprisingly, it did create a new problem for people still unused to juggling two small thingamajigs in their hands. AirPods keep getting lost left and right, pun intended, forcing people to waste money on backup pairs. It’s extremely difficult when you lose one piece, so the best answer is to always keep them together no matter what. That’s exactly the kind of solution that these neck straps offer, but they do so in a way that transforms practical utility into trendsetting fashion.

Panther Black

Truly wireless earbuds like the AirPods free us from the tyranny of tangled cables, but that liberty doesn’t come without its own price. In theory, they should always be inside their case when they’re not on your ears, but in practice, people tend to take them off temporarily, only to forget where they placed them in the first place. That’s the benefit that cables have, even for those wireless earphones that still have a wire connecting both ends since you can always hang them around your neck while not using them.

Daisy Yellow

That’s the design that the PodChain is aiming for, but it takes the concept to the next level when it comes to aesthetics. Yes, it provides a strap you can attach a pair of AirPods or AirPods Pro so you can hang them around your neck or on a hook until it’s time to use them again or charge them. The key difference is that it goes a step further in making sure those buds don’t just dangle off your shoulders.

Midnight Blue

With a One Click Patented Lock, you can easily secure each AirPod in place. And, when you’re not using them, you can magnetically join the two pieces together, closing the loop around your neck. No more dangling ends that get snagged by objects and people you pass by; just a single, eye-catching woven cord that you can proudly wear like a necklace.

And that’s where the AirPods necklace’s other big features comes in. Each strap is made from beautifully braided cords that combine complementary colors, depending on the style. Blue, black, and gray combine to create a romantic Midnight Blue, while yellow, blue, and brown mix for an earthy Daisy Yellow. And you don’t have to settle for one, either since you can easily change the necklace you’ll wear depending on your mood or outfit for the day. So give yourself some well-deserved peace of mind with these stylish necklaces designed to give your AirPods a home so that they never get lost again.

14K Gold and Cubic Zirconia Michael Myers Pendant: Stabbing in Style

What better way to express your fandom for the Halloween franchise than with this Michael Myers 14K gold plated and cubic zirconia pendant? I can actually think of a lot of ways, but that isn’t going to stop me from dropping $650 on this piece from Aporro. I can already close my eyes and hear my wife yelling about the credit card charge.

Did you know the original Michael Myers mask was created by Halloween’s production designer Tommy Lee Wallace using a $1.98 Star Trek Captain Kirk mask he purchased from a costume shop on Hollywood Boulevard and modified by widened the eye holes and spray-painting the flesh a bluish-white? Because that’s true. The more you know!

Unlike the original, this particular piece is brass with a 14k gold plating and a plethora of white and black cubic zirconia adorning Michael’s face. It measures 90mm x 70mm (3.5″ x 2.7″) and weighs 198g. Obviously, it would be far better as a full-size mask I could wear while cutting the grass to let my neighbors know my yard is not one to let their dogs poop in without picking it up.

NASA made a necklace that reminds you not to touch your face

NASA has released open-source instructions for a 3D-printed necklace designed to help you stop touching your face. We’ve heard time and time again that we shouldn’t touch our mush with our fingers to limit our chances of contracting COVID-19. However...

Celebrate Blade Runner 2049 with This Origami Unicorn Silver Pendant

I’ve yet to see the Blade Runner 2049, but everyone is saying it’s a pretty incredible movie. Given the fact that the original Blade Runner is one of my favorite films of all time (despite its flaws), I can’t want to see how Denis Villenueve’s long-awaited sequel turned out.

Fans of the original Blade Runner know that Gaff (Edward James Olmos) liked to make little origami animals, most significantly, the unicorn that is representative of Rick Deckard’s mysterious past. While you could certainly fold your own paper unicorn, this sterling silver version is much, much cooler. It’s made by AllegroArts and is a dead ringer for the origami unicorn from Ridley Scott’s original 1982 film. Each one is handmade from folded sheets of fine silver, and comes on either a 18″ or 24″ sterling chain.

The pendant is priced at $85 to $90 (USD) in AllegroArts’ Etsy shop, and as of this writing, they only have one left in stock, so you’d better faster than Pris can do gymnastics if you want one.

Location Celebration Ornamentation!

There’s a certain beauty to the You Are Here series of jewelry/accessories that is comparable to the STC Memento we saw in October last year. While the Memento celebrates time on a grand scale, the You Are Here really memorializes a location.

The You Are Here series of jewelry captures an overhead/map view of the location of your choosing and carves that into a gold/silver plated metal sheet and then turns it into a wearable of your choosing. The beauty of the You Are Here lies in the fact that it can be linked to any special moment. The city/neighborhood you were born in, the restaurant you went to on your first date, your current home, or a memory spot for a loved one. Once you choose the locality on the map, it gets converted into a stencil that is then laser-cut onto a metal plate. The plate is then formed into a ring, pendant, or a brooch.

The You Are Here ornaments and enriches a memory through space. Not only does it make for great personal expression, it’s also beautiful if worn in pairs! Or perhaps even a rather beautiful gift for a friend, colleague, or family member… because memories are made in the right places, with the right faces!

R2-D2 and C-3PO Best Friends Necklaces: Droids4Ever

I always thought C-3PO was sort of a dick to R2-D2. He was always smug and giving R2 a hard time even though R2 turns out to know best most of the time. Still, they are best friends, so go figure. If you have a bestie and you need a gift for the holidays here is the perfect thing.

3p0-pals-1

The two necklaces together make a heart and each half of the heart is printed with one of the droids you are looking for. The necklaces are made of stainless steel and on the back it says “Best Friends.”

3p0-pals-2

You can get the heart necklace for $12.99(USD) at ThinkGeek right now. Just be sure who ever is the bossier, more dickish friend gets the 3PO half.

Edelkrone Povie Looks Sillier Than a Selfie Stick, But Is Way More Useful

If you are one of the people who get annoyed when you see others using selfie sticks, you will have something new to be annoyed about soon. The Edelkrone Povie is a smartphone holder meant to allow the user to record point of view videos and still have their hands available

It might be the perfect thing for geeky unboxing videos or recording yourself cooking, but it still looks rather silly.

edelkrone_povie_1zoom in

Povie is a necklace-style smartphone mount made from ABS and silicone injection molded parts. Your smartphone is held onto the Povie with a powerful magnet, which can hold devices up to about a half pound.

edelkrone_povie_2zoom in

The section that the smartphone sticks to is angle adjustable so you can fine-tune your video, and since the screen faces outward, someone else can monitor what you’re capturing. That said, you are limited the the video resolution of your front-facing camera, which is often lower than the main camera on back.

The biggest downside to the Povie is that you look pretty ridiculous with your smartphone around your neck. You can order Povie now for $49.99(USD).

Anatomical Lung Necklace Takes Your Breath Away

Back in the day, I went to college and picked a career because I heard it paid really well. Turns out that was a lie, but whatevs. Now, I have that degree in Respiratory Therapy, and while I spent a long time working in the field, mostly all I remember from college are things like the hottie in my class that had a penchant for blue spandex dresses, how disturbingly in love with dissecting fetal pigs my anatomy teacher was, and to never stand at the end of a tracheostomy patient’s bed.

I also have a bunch of odd little factoids about lungs stored away just in case I end up on Jeopardy and a category is Cardiopulmonary Anatomy. Did you know that if you peeled your lungs open and laid all the alveoli (little balloon-like air sacs) and other airways out they would cover a tennis court? Surface area bros, surface area. If you want to celebrate the fact that you have lungs, this is the necklace you need.

It’s wooden, on a 17-inch chain, and has airways burnt into it. If you know a smoker, you could paint it black and give it as a gift.

It’s kind of pricy for a weird necklace at $25.99(USD) at ThinkGeek. It would totally make a Respiratory Therapist happy though.

StarCraft Pylon Necklace: Pendant Overwhelming

Etsy shop Oki007 sells necklaces with geeky pendants, such as Master Chief, Big Daddy and a Fallout Power Armor. But perhaps the shop’s most eye-catching pendant is this one based on the Protoss’ fundamental structure.
