Another Christmas may have come and gone, but that doesn’t mean that the spirit of giving must come to an end as well. Treat the geek in you life (be it a best bud, relative, or yourself) to an 8-bit pendant, which will recall the days of yore when or biggest life disappoint was discovering that the princess was in another castle.

Handcrafted by Nicholas D’Amario, these sterling silver trinkets feature pixelated images of Mario, a health heart, and a skull. If those pendants aren’t iconic enough, Mr. D’Amario has also created a D-pad (accented with black enamel) that replicates the look of the classic NES controls.

Prices start at $44, but you can’t put a price on fine art, can you?

    Cute! …Only $44 is not a fair value, especially considering the cheapie chains on some of them.
