I’ve been around the electronics industry for years as my Dad has run a successful small electronics company for the last 20 or so years. When they first opened, we’d often spend long hours into the night building various circuit boards and products and I’d find my mind wandering to what exactly could be made of all the colourful diodes and resistors. Well, wandering minds need to wonder no more — check out Girl Geek Boutique. They’ve got every colour combination you can imagine made of upcycled, recycled and surplus diodes, LEDs, capacitors, resistors, circuit boards, wires, cables, gears and even duct tape.
I totally dig the ribbon cable earrings that could signify your love of colour, electronics, geekery or even symbolize your support for the gay and lesbian community. At only $18 these are surely a conversation starter that not every other person will be wearing. Want a choker or necklace to match? No worries — they’ve got that too!
The artists are the Girl Geek Boutique are actually engineers so if you want to know exactly how the electronics in your piece would work, they encourage you to ask. That way you can add more geek to your chic when people comment on your fantastic piece.
Another piece that I’m over the rainbow about are these cascading resistor dangly earrings. At only $39, they’re a great option for gift giving as well. I think these would make an awesome gift for women working in the electronics industry and am definitely going to have to recommend this store to all the guys at my Dad’s electronics company. Not to worry though, they have pieces suitable for men as well including business card holders, rings and cufflinks that will scream geek and tree hugger all at the same time! Two of my favourite things all rolled into one:)
