Probably not a kind of post you're expecting here, but stick with me:
I recently ordered 2 necklaces, with the pendants shaped like old NES cartridges. Got Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt and Legend of Zelda. :|\\
As far as nostalgia goes, it doesn't get much better than this, as far as I'm concerned; hand crafted, not that mass produced kind of stuff. The necklaces are kind of delicate, so perhaps it's more suited as a carefully stowed and preserved keepsake, but for me it's not about whether or not you wear it (I am anyway, could always replace the necklace if needed). It's a reminder of where I've been, all those sunny days wasted behind a TV with friends, mashing buttons as if our lives depended on it... in some way, they did. :rotfl:
Anyway, have a look for yourself, lot's more than just necklaces. Rings, earrings and cufflinks are also available. Can't go wrong for the price. ;)

PS: I live in Holland, and everything arrived just fine from the US, so don't consider living outside US a limitation. :up:
