Geek Gadgets: Top Five Geek-Chic Jewelry Pieces for This Valentine's Day

If you want to impress the scientist in your life this Valentine's Day, you may want to grab some of this jewelry. We've looked through some of the most unusual nature and science-related, geek-chic accessories and picked our top five for the week. Of course, we won't blame you if you get one of these for yourself, instead.

1. Beetlewing Jewelry. Sure, it's made out of an insect, but it's a really shiny insect. In fact, beetle wings have been used to create everything from jewelry to entire dresses in the past. Now, you can get a pair of iridescent, green-hued earrings for the naturalist in your life. Made from Elytra Sternocera beetle wings, the earrings are sure to make heads turns.

2. Star Wars Jewelry. Do you have a Star Wars fan in your life? Then have we found the necklace and ring for them. You can get Hans Solo frozen around your neck or on your finger for all time with this piece of bling. You can get the True Hero pendant in sterling silver or the Bounty Hunter ring in your choice of metal.

3. Zombie Apocalypse Plan Charm Bracelet. Worried about forgetting something during the zombie apocalypse? Look no further than this charm bracelet. This piece of jewelry has charms that will remind you of everything you need to bring to prepare for the oncoming apocalypse-and is perfect for anyone who likes zombies.

4. Growing Jewelry. This jewelry is alive-really, we're not joking. Hafsteinn Juliusson has created some ingenious jewelry pieces where real Icelandic moss is placed inside of the jewelry. You'll need to water your ring or necklace every five weeks to keep the moss alive, so it's definitely a piece for someone with a green thumb.  

5. Anatomical Heart Pendant. Nothing says "I love you" like an anatomically correct heart. The biologist in your life will definitely appreciate this pendant, complete with aorta and pulmonary arteries.
