Here's hoping that the Space Invaders pixel ring becomes the official promise ring of all geeky couples. The Space Invaders pixel ring was created by Etsy merchant Virginiemillefiori and is made out of actual white gold "pixels."
The ring is handmade and features either gold or silver plating. The ring sells for $50 with Virginiemillefiori also packaging the ring with matching cufflinks and necklaces upon request. Gamer fashion accessories have been popping up all over the place recently, with girly gamers and DIYers creating some truly awesome and original pieces. Here's hoping that the major jewelery companies catch on to the growing population of girl gamers and begin to design pieces for them. A Pac-Man engagement ring can't be far off.
