This bracelet is an undercover hair accessory

NEWS – Some time ago, I read about a woman who had gotten a serious infection from wearing an elastic hair tie on her wrist.  The glitter in the cover of the tie embedded itself in her wrist skin and caused a potentially life-threatening infection. (Huffington Post, 12/02/2015)  Although I warned my daughter about the danger of wearing those tight elastic bands around her wrist, I still see her with a hair tie around her wrist most every day.

She needs one of these Matte Aluminum Hair Tie Bracelets, so she can keep her hair tie handy without the potential for an infection.  The bracelet is made of anodized, lightweight, nickel-free aluminum.  The hair tie fits over the bracelet to relieve the tightness and pressure around your wrist.  It can accommodate both skinny and thick hair ties.  It even comes with the first tie.  It will fit wrists 5.75″ to 6.75″ in circumference.

The Matte Aluminum Hair Tie Bracelet is available with a rose gold anodized finish.  Normal price is $24.95, but it’s currently available for $19.95 from The Grommet.

Gear lust alert: titanium wedding bands with mechanical latches

Do you remember the Kinekt Design’s Gear Ring with the tiny rotating gears? I thought that ring was the ultimate geek ring, but I just found a collection of rings from McWhinney Designs to nominate for that award. 

Designed by Jeff McWhinney of California, who has a background in making hardware for yachts, racing sailboats, and bicycles, his unique mechanical wedding bands are created for active men – but dang it, I want one too!

Jeff offers a variety of rings that are made of titanium, stainless steel, and even yellow gold. They all feature a one of a kind opening mechanism that is both geek chic and functional.

For guys that have big knuckles or problems with their hands swelling, I can see how these rings would be a lot easier to remove at the end of a long day.

The rings start at $825 and go up to $4125. To see all of the designs and for more info visit mcwhinneydesigns.com.

I wish I liked wearing jewelry because these rings are insanely cool

Check out these rings from Secret Wood. They look like a window into another world but they are really just made of resin with different types of wood or silver bands.

Each ring is hand crafted, so no two rings are the same.

Small bits of moss, flowers, and real gold flakes are used to provide the illusion of landscapes.

Secret Wood rings are priced starting at $90 and go up to $280 depending on the style. You can check out the entire collection of rings at mysecretwood.com
