Geeks can be technology-savvy and chic, stylish and fashionable.
Designer Manuel Bozzi seems to be trying to make a similar statement with this piece of jewelry. The geeky ring has a keyboard mounted on it in lieu of a stone. The band is made of pure sterling silver and is priced at €165 or almost $255.
This ring screams, "geek" loud and clear, and there is nothing wrong with that. But I'll tell you one thing, as far as I'm concerned, this rock sure as heck is not rocking.
Check out proof that geek is chic:
