Star Wars jewelry

Etsy seller Rockets and Rainbows makes clever jewelry out of Star Wars and My Little Pony toys, including the Snow Speeder ring shown here. But you can't buy that one, because I just bought it as a surprise for my wife. Don't tell her, OK?

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Those stormtrooper earrings are a right rip off at $45. Just buy the $5 lego keyrings, snip off the keychain and connect them to a pair of earrings – do it yourself

    It’s a toy stuck to a ring. Buying it for more than it’s worth doesn’t make it more romantic.

  So just make your own and sell them for $40 a pair instead of complaining about it.

Chincy, cheap and childish. Can’t believe this made it to BB.

  I can’t believe that comment made it here either. The moderators must be letting their standards slip.

    I’m still trying to figure out what “chincy” means.

    Meaning what exactly? No one can criticize anything?

  Chintzy. Not to criticize, I knew what you meant. I had to look it up though, as I’ve never seen the word in print:
