Method of Producing Gold Nanoparticle

patent#: US 7060121

Most likely these nanoparticles will be used as conductors in nano-scale devices, but it could usher in a whole new fad of NANOBLING! That's micro micro micro bling. Micro-cubed, son! Sure big jewelry is much easier to see, but it's also much easier to make – it's so old school it's Bronze Age.

If we want to launch the nano-revolution we need rappers to plug not Jacob the Jeweller, but inventors like Hsing Kuang Lin and Daniel Edward Walsh who are kicking it Gold Rush Alaskan-style. We need the the aspiring Jay-Z's of the world to come up with lyrics like:

Ultraviolet irradiation of Langmuir-Blodgett films of octadecylamine,
4-hexadecylaniline
and benzyldimethylstearylammonium
chloride monohydrate deposited from aqueous HAuCl.sub.4 subphases
was tested to generate gold nanoparticles, bitch!

patent#: US D504984

It is said that, over time, dogs begin to resemble their owners – a process that can be accelerated through coordinated collaring.

In an age when two of the most tricked out rappers are named Snoop Dogg and Bow Wow, canine bling should be no surprise. What's impressive here is the patent holder's bold suggestion that their design can be enjoyed by both beauty and beast alike. You can wear while dining at five-star restaurant or even just put it on for a casual afternoon in the back yard, snacking on old turds.

So don't just buy one, buy two. Don't be selfish! Did I mention it makes a great tentacle ring, should you happen to keep a giant squid?

Vibrating, Body-Piercing Jewelry

patent#: US 6865907

His death was not an act of god,
On that stormy night out in Cape Cod
The man was a human lightning rod!

What surprised me though (what I couldn't have known),
Was when he vibrated like a mobile phone.
I thought we were in a reception-free zone!

Gemstone Encased in Ring

patent#: US 6851278

This ring has a gemstone embedded in the band that only appears as the band wears down, demonstrating that "relationships become stronger and more fulfilling as the years progress." Aww, isn't that sweet.

Decorative Valved Tracheostomy Device

patent#: US 6789542

This is probably the only piece of bling that P. Diddy doesn't have. Who says who you can't have a hole puched in your throat and still look hip?

You won't want to throw this little circular beauty into the fires of Mt. Doom. It has the power to mute any television. Very cool.
