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!

Moustaches have been in for too long. It’s time to focus on different facial hair, and The Hunger Games has provided perfect fodder. Seneca Crane sports an impressive beard in the film; it’s the sort of beard that makes a statement. It’s so distinctive that Jacquie Long Legs has written a tutorial on fashioning the statement hair out of leather. Yep, you too can look like Seneca Crane.
Check out an additional photo of the beard necklace after the break.

If you have a Dementor around your neck, that means they can’t take your soul. At least, that’s what I’m going with. This Dementor’s Kiss design is creepy and subtle. You know you’re in the right crowd if someone comes up to you while you’re wearing this necklace and says, “Expecto Patronum.”

In Minecraft, you use building blocks to construct pretty much whatever you can imagine. These cute charms are sculpted from polymer clay and hand painted just for you. Though the list is for earrings, you could definitely wear the blocks on a necklace.

By the looks of this acrylic Heath Bar Three Pixel Hearts necklace, your life force has been depleted a bit. Better find yourself a potion (or some strong coffee) right away.
The necklace can also be customized when ordered with more whole or less whole heart combinations.

If you’re a fan of Warehouse 13, you probably recognize the Phoenix medallion artifact. In the show, it protects the wearer from fire, but sacrifices the lives of others in the process. By simply touching this medallion, you are immune to this effect—so owning one might be a smart decision for agents in the field.
This prop replica from QMx is made using a burnished, bronze-like zinc alloy and can be converted back and forth between a keychain and a necklace as you see fit.
Pre-orders are expected to begin in Q2 of 2012, but you can get on a sign up for a waiting list on the QMx website right now.

Laser cut pendants are all the rage these days, and there is no end to the nerdy designs. I particularly like Etsy seller LicketyCut’s selection. Star Trek to gaming to superheroes, the shop has a bit of everything including these Wonder Woman and Mass Effect designs.
Check out the Wonder Woman pendant after the break along with a pin version of the N7 Mass Effect badge.

Hot Topic has opened up a virtual wing of their shop for merchandise available for pre-order for The Hunger Games. They of course have the standard t-shirts and tote bags emblazoned with a mockingjay or the motto of the games, “May the odds be ever in your favor,” but they also have some neat products. I like the jewelry designs (my mockingjay necklace is actually from Hot Topic back when they had merchandise from the books – I got it off a clearance rack) and items like the District 12 backpack. I wouldn’t necessarily carry it, but it’s a nice tie-in considering Katniss carries around an orange backpack in the arena. Speaking of the arena, Hot Topic is even offering a replica of Katniss’s bow.
The items have various ship dates so if you’re shopping for the movie premiere on 3/23 be sure to check the dates closely.
Check out photos of some of the cooler Hunger Games products Hot Topic is offering after the break.
