OK, so you think $842,000 is a wee pricey for a cell phone strap (tightwad). All you bargain hunters out there may be pleased to know that you can get a cheapo alternative for chump change-- just $250--that features a 24k gold charm as seen on Tokyomango to commemorate the "Year of the Boar" (or pig, if that seems more appropriate for this bit of conspicuous consumption). If you're so inclined, you can even get a set of genuine gold and silver USB keys as the perfect accessory. And at this level of decorative wastfulness, it's all about accessorizing, isn't it?

A bit overboard?

I admit i am one of those people who have a fancy piece of jewelry hanging from my phone. But spending $250 on a gold one, you would have to have more money than sense. My fascination started with a little trinket a friend bought back from overseas. Now i search the internet looking for ones that a more classy that are not a hello kitty or a cheap diamonte. This is my favourite site to get the latest. <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.bohojewellery.com.au" target="_newWindow">http://www.bohojewellery.com.au</a>
