On the Cheap: Lego Links

I wonder why more people don't rock Lego jewelry. I don't mean those earrings made from Lego people heads (because that's a tad macabre), but jewelry that looks like the actual blocks. Behold,


I bet more guys would wear cufflinks if they knew about these. They're handmade for every order and come in 17 colors. Unfortunately, they're $150, and I can't figure out why. Maybe the process that shapes the plastic is expensive (although, if that's the case, just use real Legos--duh).

Now, these cufflinks are authentic:


They don't look as "refined," perhaps, but who cares? Legos are fun, first and foremost, so I don't have a problem with these being a little more playful. They're also much easier on the wallet, since I suspect using the real toy is cheaper than imitating it. You still get your choice of 12 colors and you'll only be out $6.95. Several pairs are going into my cart.

Would you (or your male counterpart) ever wear something like this? Do you already? Are Legos only for children?! Spill your guts.

    here you go: 8 pages of listings for lego cufflinks (many of them critters and folk, but some just plain pieces), handmade and waaay less than that (except the first one):
