Last Year's Gadgets Get New Life As... Jewelry

Will Sherman writes "Liz McLean Knight, a Chicago native, has applied her interest in electronics, computers, and music to a line of jewelry created under the name, Zelle. The catch? She almost exclusively uses spare computer and electronics parts in her work. Many of her pieces would be a perfect gift for your LAN admin, that cute girl in the IT department, or your favorite DJ. Among other things, she sells a belt made from IDE cable, necklaces made from capacitors, and a cuff bracelet made of midi cables. But can she turn my broken iPod into something wearable?"

Great idea

Hey, great idea. Make something from capacitors that could very well charge themselves spontaniously. You're in for some fun when you zap random electronics that could be expensive, and cost you an arm and a leg.
