This ring is a perfect marriage of function and style. Gear Ring goes for $165 and comes in limited sizes, and wow, is it ever cool!

Sugru is described as a creator’s dream, a means to have things that you have already, but better. This room temperature-curing silicone putty has been used for mending pottery, modifying electronics and patching fabric.
