A Wisconsin jewler puts everything on sale in preperation for the rapture. Jesus and horsemens 1-4 of the apocalypse will probably be too busy to make it to the sale, but the rest of us can really save on jewelry. (Via.) View Media ›

They may look like jewelry pulled off a mall kiosk (or My So-Called Life), but these charms for dudes are straight-up classy with a capital K. With models like “Desire,” “Challenge,” and “Cool Topaz,” guys finally have the chance to make the “middle school art teacher” look tew-ootally sexy. (Thanks, Gabe!)

The Internet’s favorite woman, Current TV’s Sarah Haskin, presents her newest (and can I argue, funniest?) episode of Target Women. This one’s about the horrendous amount of bad jewelry ads that pop-up for the holiday season. Because, “There’s nothing that says ‘I love you’ to a woman like a diamond.

French police believe the drag queen jewelry heist at Harry Winston’s earlier this month may have been the work of a network of Serbian thieves known as the Pink Panthers. The gang has about 200 members, many of them ex-soldiers, and they’ve pulled off robberies in Dubai, Switzerland, Japan, Spain and Monaco.

Pop Topping is the art of making crafts from soda can tabs. This rich tradition was first documented back in 1975 in the book Start Off in Pop Topping and is still around today. I am glad crafters are practicing creative reuse, but I hope for their sake they aren’t actually drinking all that soda. Read More ›
