Who said economic times are tough? Not the makers of this Mario pendant, who somehow feel that a global recession is just the right time to be launching a diamond-encrusted Mario pendant worth around $11,000.
So, I’m sort of on the fence about video game-themed earrings. I mean, nothing screams Hay Boyz, I’m a Gamer Gurl like game earrings, right? I mean, okay. My phone rings the radio samba mix of Portal‘s Still Alive, often while I’m wearing my “Solid Snake 08″ campaign T-shirt. Either that, or my phone is making the Codec noise while I’m making crappy Harvest Moon animals out of polymer clay, but earrings? I may or may not own some Mario mushroom earrings, but I often debate wearing them.
But these are pretty cool, right? It’s an eBay store called The Clay Collection that features these hand-crafted, penny-sized earrings of geek paraphernalia – there are the tiny Companion Cubes I would have made had I only the fine motor skill, there are tiny Nintendo light guns and Bloopers that look absolutely fantastic, too, as well as other non-game related memetics like fast food and Mystery Science Theatre.
Let’s have a little discussion, shall we? Do you rock any game-related clothing items? Belt buckles, messenger bags, T-shirts, wristbands, beanies? How do you feel about it? More Clay Collection pics after the jump, too.
Mario is off the hook, but not the chain, the gold chain. Alice points to this fine bit of Mario jewellery featuring Nintendo’s top dog in Lego brick hung from a thick gold rope.
So you’ve got the big gold necklace, you’ve got the oversized icon necklace and you have the LEGO. And are those LEGO brick earrings I see? Doesn’t get any doper… or is that dope?

We’ve posted plenty of gaming shirts, but gaming rings? Aside from Square Enix’s Final Fantasy costume jewellery, no gaming rings jump out at me. There are these: Ms. Pac-Man and a ghost. For those with man hands, there is also an approximately one inch version of the ghost ring. While the website dubs the ring “Ghost Ring Large,” we refer to it as Blingy-Blingy.
