More and more aspects of the virtual world are poking their way into everyday real life; jewelry and accessories such as these hashtag necklaces are a fun way to open up dialogue about the online world.

Remember when it use to be cool to wear your name around your neck or the name of someone else? Don't be surprised if these hashtag necklaces replace that as symbols of sweet friendship and love. #enjoy!
