Looking for that perfect gaming accessory to go with your countless geeky t-shirts? Maybe you’ve made the leap and gotten some game related ink but you don’t have any awesome earrings to match? What you need is some jewelry made with board game components.
The Hard Boiled Megg shop on Etsy is selling some awesome looking board game inspired jewelry perfect for filling out your gamer look. Megan Raley, a professional crafts instructor and jewelry maker, has teamed up with her husband, Daniel Solis, a game designer featured on GeekDad for his Writer’s Dice project and the fabulous Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple roleplaying game. Both are avid board gamers and Megan has a particular fondness for Carcassonne, which explains the meeple-centric design of these earrings and necklaces.
Everything in the store ranges between $16-$30. You can get a pair of earrings, a necklace, or a set of both, with either gold, silver, or copper hardware. Megan is currently working on more masculine offerings (I want some cufflinks!), which should be up on the store soon. Check out this fun YouTube video for more info on the process of creating the pieces.
