TV remote control watch

TV Remote control watchJames Bond look out! The guys over at Gear Live spotted this cool, and cheap, watch from Vavolo.

The TV remote control watch is a standard digital watch with time, alarm, stopwatch and time zones. But it gets cool when you start using the remote control features. Vavolo claims is works at distances of up to 5 meters and can control hundreds of different TVs, VCRs and DVD players.

How much fun can you have with this watch and screwing with your friend’s TVs or DVD players? The  potential for jokes is endless. And at just $12.50, you can buy several in case your buddy smashes the one you’re wearing when he catches you.

Damianissima

DamianissimaDamiani has done it again with this very cool rose gold and diamonds ring. Something about this ring just makes me happy. Made using a Damiani D links with diamonds set in the white gold links it just makes a striking statement to me. Being rose gold doesn’t hurt either, we need to see more jewelry using more colors than just white and yellow for the metal.

The Jewelry Tree

The Jewelry TreeI stumbled across this cool idea over at MSN a few weeks ago. Instead of making your beautiful jewelry live a sheltered, unused life in the bottom of your jewelry box, why not display it as a work of art? This shot shows several manzanita branches placed in a simple vase. Then each necklace, chain, and pair of earrings is carefully hung and displayed.

You get to store your jewelry in a way it won’t get all tangled together, and it certainly makes it easier to look at everything you have when you are trying to decide what to wear.

Now your diamond can truly be unique

I’ve always been a fan of laser inscription for diamonds as a way if identifying them for the average buyer. But the cool people over at Gemory have taken the process a step further and crossed over from the utilitarian in to the way cool.You can now have you diamond inscribd with as many as 100, yes 100, microscopic pictures and turn it from a family heirloom in to a family photo album that could last forever, because after all, a diamond is forever. Using a process called Safe Gemscribe each photo is reduced and then laser inscribed on to the surface of the diamond.

Want to add a picture of your kids, then have more more kids? No problem, send it back and have more pictures added. This could turn in to a stunning family heirloom over the generations.

The Gemscribe isn’t limited to diamonds either, it will work on rubies, sapphires, pearls and more. And with the portable viewer that comes with your inscribed stone, you can actually show them off witout dragging out a microscope.

You can find out more over at the Gemory website.
