Simple Style: Porcelain Glove Molds
I'm always coming across porcelain glove molds in antiques stores, junk shops, and flea markets. These handy finds, originally used for making gloves, are very versatile accent pieces. You can use them to display jewelry and other trinkets, or screw them into the bathroom wall to serve as clever towel racks.

Crystal Rose USB Necklace: Love It or Leave It?
I guess the new thing in appealing to lady geeks is wearable gadgets, like last week's Pendant/Bluetooth Earpiece.
Brando's newest gadget/jewelry hybrid is this Jewel Rose Necklace Flash Drive — a decent-looking necklace, if you ask me (though hardly subtle). The flash drive has 8GB of storage for $37, and is certainly not going to get lost if it's around your neck, like Brando's other flash drive jewelry, the Jeweled USB Bracelet (I guess your wish wasn't so crazy, Katy Perry).
