To the casual observer, this is a nice little patriotic bracelet, but to those in the know, it is clearly a Captain America bangle bracelet. It has his signature shield and silver stars  and will look perfect on your wrist this Fourth of July. Or, if Gods are more your style, you can opt for Thor dangle earrings complete with lighting bolts and itty bitty Mjolnirs. Either way, your outfit will look perfectly assembled with these accessories.

I’ve never wanted to get holes in my ear lobes big enough to plug until I saw these custom pieces by Marc Short. I’m still not taking the plunge (which is just as well since these aren’t for sale) but his designs are definitely the coolest and most stylish plugs I’ve seen. He’s got designs including Pokeballs, Mario and Luigi, Pac-Man, Donkey King (with neat-o bases that look like wooden barrels), and more.

Forget about getting the whole world in a ring, you can go for the whole universe. This stunning piece of jewelry is made from a freaking meteorite and displays beautiful gemstones which represent the planets of our solar system. Wow.

This ring features a complete band of Gibeon Meteorite framed and mounted in an 18k gold band. The meteorite has been etched with nitric acid to reveal the characteristic patterns, or Widmanstatten figures, of iron meteorites, and set with 9 gemstones representing the planets of our Solar System. Mercury is represented by a rust colored Sapphire, Venus a golden Sapphire, Earth an irradiated blue Diamond, Mars a Ruby, Jupiter an Opal, Saturn a Cats Eye Chrysoberyl with an inlaid 24k gold ring, Uranus a green Sapphire, Neptune a blue Sapphire and Pluto a black Diamond.

The coolest part is that the band of meteorite is separate from the interior gold ring. The planets can rotate around your finger. Yeah, I’m drooling too. You can invest in this tiny universe at a starting price of $3,600.

Charm bracelets are lovely. Adorable video game themed charm bracelets take the cake though. Etsy seller Enrah offers Mario, Pokemon, and Legend of Zelda themed bracelets. Each bracelet comes loaded with cute icons from the games like Goombas, masks,  Pikachu, and more. They’re the sort of charm bracelets you can keep looking and finding new things to admire.

I often lament the lack of Star Wars jewelry. I’ve got a few necklaces, and one pair of earrings but I’d love for the Wars to take over the contents of my jewelry box. Etsy seller DonaldJames77 might help with that. He’s cast a variety of Star Wars miniatures into pewter earrings. You can select who you want dangling from your ears from a long list of characters including Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Tusken Raiders, R2-D2, and more!

If the pewter look isn’t your favorite, you can choose to have them finished with a faux gold paint. I like the idea, especially the fact that I could have Darth Vader dangling from one ear and Obi-Wan from the other, but I do wonder how heavy the earrings are. Pewter isn’t exactly lightweight. The designs are so cool though that I’m willing to disregard the practicalities!

Three great sci-fi staples that go great together. This beautiful ring is the creation of Harpuahound over at Engraver’s Cafe. It was a custom project where the buyer requested the iconic TARDIS, the space shuttle and the Starfleet logo be mixed into the overall design. I think any sci-fi fan would be more than happy to be the owner of this beautiful work of art.

Redditor “laporkenstein” took wedding bands to a nerdy new level by forging his out of a Gibeon meteorite and nickel tooling steel. Laporkenstein crafted the band in his garage over a four day period using the same techniques employed to make samurai swords.
