There comes a time when being a little bit of a nerd becomes a desirable thing. The specific time varies from person to person, but it's a fact that brains are going to get you farther in life than your high school free-throw record will. Embracing your inner nerd on the outside doesn't mean you have to make style sacrifices, though. Take a look at this Ruler Necklace, which makes good use of those standard rulers that were once heavily-relied upon by school kids everywhere. The pieces are strung on a 16" silver chain and priced at $68. Matching earrings are also available.
