Hanging Controller Ornaments

Now, here’s something that any gamer would like to have in their house. With these items carved out in the shape of the controllers for the Wii, Xbox, Sega Genesis, Dreamcast and others, this will liven up your gaming room. These video game controller ornaments come in all colors and with their detailed and accurate rendition of these gaming tools, anyone will know exactly what they are the moment they walk into your gaming room. These ornaments cover all the generations starting from the 8-bit days, the 16-bit wars, and up to the current home consoles that we have wired in our houses.

These hanging controller designs are a nice little nod to all gamers that walk into your home. With all the different designs from all of these consoles, it’s strange that how fundamentally they’ve all stayed the same. They all have generic buttons and D-pads, with the exception of shoulder buttons and munchkin joysticks. Really, these video game controller ornaments are a trip down memory lane. Looking at the Sega Genesis controller, I remember the first time I started “Sonic The Hedgehog” and seeing how colorful and big everything was compared to my Nintendo. Boy, how things have changed since then.

For their designs or just for nostalgic value, find out more information on these items at the links below.

Anyone who’s played a war game like “Call of Duty”, “Medal of Honor” and “Resistance: Fall of Man” has either driven or encountered these rolling machines of destruction.

Caged Pearls

Pearls being the more popular ways to show your affection from someone, there’s really no reason why someone can’t experiment with that concept. This pearl necklace seems to take the tradition pearl necklaces and constrict it into one place. This necklace could possibly symbolize many things. I personally think that maybe this necklace symbolizes that you’re affection is locked into one person, and only that one person, much like the pearls. That’s just my personal assumption, though. This creative pearl necklace is a great way to show the receiver of this gift that you’re thinking about them.

The gritty detail of the necklace is wonderfully done and expresses that the cruel touches that this world has to offer will never reach the pearls. It’s almost like an actual piece of jewelry that shows a different variation of eternal love. It’s actually quite exquisite to look at and it’s, to me, a welcome change of pace than using the tradition old fashioned jewelry. It’s an adventurous looking necklace and its creative outlook of pearls can touch anyone that’s into fantasy or just unique pieces of designs.

It’s definitely worth looking at, so take a peek at the links below.

Clyde Earrings

With his brethren having simple names like “Blinky” and “Pinky”, Clyde is the only ghost out of the Pac-Man universe that has the most unique name. This orange ghost ornament from the Pac-Man universe is obviously reflecting the 8-bit glory days of which many of the great video game franchises of today was born. These Pac-Man fashioned earrings look just like Clyde during his stint in the 8-bit days of quarter munching arcade gaming. Clyde isn’t like his other colorful counterparts. He’s isn’t fast, nor apparently very sharp. He moves quite slow, and most of the time he never does catch that sun-colored pellet eating creature that’s wreaking havoc throughout his maze. I suppose, the only way Clyde catches’ Pac-Man, is if you accidently turn a corner and run into him.

Pac-Man jewelry is an extremely popular style within the video game fashion trend. It’s hard not to dwell within the video game industry and not know who Pac-Man is, let alone to play one of his games. These earrings are nice little ornaments and most likely people will automatically realize Clyde as he dangles from your ears. Video game jewelry can really show you that retro games have come a long way and made their physical form into something artistic. I think it’s time for Clyde to join the rest of his ghostly team in this piece of Pac-Man themed jewelry.

Look at the link below for more information.

Bracelet for Girl Gamers

Believe it or not, girls make up about 40 percent of the gaming population. From personal experience, whenever I play online, most of the players on there that give me a run for my money are indeed girls. In a stereotypical sense, you would assume that men flood the video game demographic, and girls shun upon whenever we fire up our Xbox or Playstation. That’s not so true, at least not anymore. Playing video games aren’t so much known as being taboo or a virtual waste of time anymore. This is mainly thanks to the Wii, who helped people of different generations feel the digital addiction known as video games.  Now, if you’re lucky enough to actually have a girlfriend that’s a gamer, here’s a possible piece of gaming constructed jewelry for you.

As you can see from the pictures below, this wonderfully crafted piece of gamer adornment displays Xbox 360 controllers along with black five glass beads in-between them. Really, this Xbox related piece of jewelry is a different change of pace than your usual plain silver, gold, or beaded bracelets out there.  This feminine forged video game themed bracelet will show your true gaming spirit, maybe even by surprise. Yes, girl gamers are around and they’re giving us guys, okay maybe only me, a hard time on multi-player.

So here’s a bracelet to celebrate the female gamers out there. Take a look at the links below for more information.

Resident Evil Logo Earrings

Resident Evil is widely known by many to be the father of the survival horror genre. Even though, there have been quite a few entries to the series, it has evolved a bit gameplay wise, and it still remains to be beloved by fans around the world. Below is picture of these Resident Evil themed earrings and it seems to be a combination of the S.T.A.R.S. team and the Raccoon City Police Department emblems on them. Anyone who first played the game when it first arrived in the 90’s knows that Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine are Associated with S.T.A.R.S and Leon Kennedy has debuted as a rookie cop of the Raccoon City Police Department. So, these two symbols reflect on these three characters on what I consider to be the heart of the series.

The craftsmanship of these video game earrings is very clean and impeccable in design. It’s a very neat way to reveal your appreciation to your favorite game of the survival/horror genre. Resident Evil jewelry is a no-brainer. There are many designs and nods to the franchise and these pair of earrings for horror/survival video game players is a solid choice to go by.
