These Portal Earrings Let You Fashionably Flaunt Your Nerdiness

If I was a girl gamer or a little bit more in touch with my feminine side, I would be all over these Portal earrings. Portal 2 has been out for some time now, but that doesn't mean that Portal mania is going to end anytime soon.
In case you didn't know, Portal is a video game series in which you use your portal gun to solve puzzles and fall through holes in the wall. These Portal earrings were made by Etsy seller SVJewellery (SV stands for "sugar and vice") and are designed in the shape of the game's portals, with the character in one half of each portal. The Portal earrings are made out of laser-cut acrylic and silver wires and sell for the gamer-friendly price of $19.95.
