The hot trend in designer jewelry: USB keys
A Tiffany version is only a matter of time
We were only kidding (sort of) when speculating recently about USB drives becoming a niche market for designer jewelers, but we think it's actually come true. The reason: Where previous versions basically added some bling finishes to what otherwise seemed to be plain old USB keys, they're function is now being incorporating into the design.
The latest example comes from Italian designer Roberto Coin, a white gold bauble encrusted with diamonds. But more than just sticking the stones on the case, like some lesser Swarovski item, the "Sparkling Memory" allows the working USB portion to swivel around for actual use.
Sybarites says the jeweler has even deigned to publicize the memory capacity of its 1GB offering, which is more than we can for some of its rivals.
