Sonic jewelry? Why not! This uncommon category of Sonic merchandise will feature metal items made specifically as jewelry. Stuff like rubber bracelets or plastic dog-tags that are half accessory half 'toy like collectible' don't really count. Metal collectibles like this are great, since most are immune to aging problems...plus, it's always better when you can decorate yourself with even more Sonic stuff! |

King Ice leads the way on the 2nd page of Sonic Jewelry. Here's a solo better look at their figural Shadow pendant. (He appears on page 1 on their preview group shot) Of course, they've done another great job with this one, you can tell right away he has a fist and an open hand. They also catch the details of the red tongue area of the shoes, the red area on each stripe and the detail under the shoes. This is all difficult stuff to do on such a small space, and to be able to do it with a series of really tiny gemstones. This is another of those 'well where would you wear it' type of items but...given infinite money...I would have it. |

Usually celebrity things don't make it onto SonicGear because "famous person says thing" type news is very fleeting and doesn't add up to anything. However, from the podcast "All the Smoke" which apparently also has a video aspect to it...here's the famous rapper Snoop Dog wearing a King Ice Sonic figural pendant. Is he a Sonic fan? Was it a paid ad (because it is known he enjoys advertising things) ? None the less, it's interesting to see someone with it outside of like the movie premiers where you know its all just promotion by actors. Screencap by All The Smoke |

Now isn't this charming...literally! This is the Bio World Best Friends Sonic Tails Necklace. And it's got a cute gimmick too! Each silver chain has a metal and enamel pendant/charm of full color finger waving classic Sonic or waving Tails. But what's that above them? A half-round bead with a magnet. When you are close enough to your best friend, the magnets will cling and make the necklaces be next to each other as a reminder of friendship. This appears in spring 2024, and is reasonably priced at 15 dollars. It's on Amazon, but it may appear elsewhere. |

Finally Shadow appears on more jewelry (that's affordable by anyone) This is the Best Friend Bracelet Set--though really they should have called it the Team Dark one, as that's more appropriate. It has 2 faux-leather 3-strand bracelets each with charms. The Shadow one has a fist-forward Shadow with 2 red beads, and the Rouge one has her in the usual standing stock art pose with 2 pink heart beads. It's always good to see more character jewelry, especially solo stuff like this. Variety is key to good merchandise! This is a Hot Topic summer 2024 item and should be about 13 dollars which is an all right price. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

Hot Topic is really winding up with lots of Shadow stuff in The Year of Shadow 2024. Now, they add the Sonic Shadow Charm Necklace Pair. Choose one, or wear both for more fun. Each has a flat rubber/bevel character face as the main charm. Sonic's added charm is a ring, while Shadow's is the green Chaos Emerald. (Though, that's not a fabulous photo of it, the emerald item is hard to see) Notice also that the chains are different colors for added fun contrast: Shadow's is black and Sonic has a regular silver metal chain. This should be about 15 dollars at Hot Topic. |

Three separate jewelry items and they're ALL Chao themed? Interesting, and probably likeable, but still unusual to see this much stuff all at once of just chao. These are all at Hot Topic in fall 2024. The left is a set of 3 necklaces, each with a small |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
pendant charm of a neutral chao doing a different expression. One is cheering, the other reaching up and the last one is the thinking about it pose. Each has a simple silver chain. The necklace pair has a Light/Hero Chao doing the 'angelic' pose, and its necklace is silver with silver beads along the chain. The other has Dark chao in running/stepping pose, and that necklace is dark gray with dark gray beads. It's nice to see that they have different matching necklaces for each charm here. The third is a set of 2 bracelets, again with the same Hero/Dark chao charm art. The hero one has matching plastic various-shapes beads for the bracelet and the dark has black leather double cords with some red wrap. They're adjustable too, it seems. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

These are Tradesies character beads bracelets. The motto here is "Wear share & trade", presumably to get many different characters from various franchises/picking your favorites. This is indeed another Hot Topic item, online and in stores (hopefully) It's a cute enough idea, which did have some thought put into the design. The bracelets use a variety of complimentary colored beads to go with the CG character head charm. It also uses those classic letter-beads to spell out the name of the character. Sonic gets blue/clear/black beads, Amy gets crystal shape and flower seed beads, Shadow gets yellow/red/black beads, Tails (who they've chosen the angry face for, for some reason) gets blue, red and yellow clear beads, and Knuckles gets red, white and clear beads. The Amy one really stands out with her fun flower beads and cheerful portrait. It's a very "Amy" item. This should be about 10 dollars or so in 2024. |

Well, Classic-Amy would certainly approve of this item... It's a "BFF Charm Necklace Set". As is the usual for these, each person gets half of a heart shaped charm as a pendant on a necklace. They fit together on purpose like puzzle pieces, but only match when the 2 are together. In this case, half of it has that Sonic CD art of 'shy looking' Amy on one, and the other part has running forward Sonic. However, do notice that they're not facing each other even when the sides are together. (Odd, because any art is reversible, if they wanted to sell anybody on the theme, they'd have the characters going toward each other) This is available at Hot Topic on line and in stores and should be about 14.99 |

King Ice brings 2 more hits to the store with some great character face pendants. There's Blaze the Cat encrusted with purple gems, and Metal Sonic who is particularly suited to being a gems-covered item. These are their usual large size, with thick gems covered hang loop at the top. Blaze's is attached to the tip of her hair, and it looks fine. Her nose is a bit minimal, but they did get her eyelashes. The forehead gem is 2 smaller gems instead of a larger one. The eyes are done the usual way with 2 black gems in the middle...but because the iris-color is yellow/bright it looks a little strange here. Metal Sonic works perfectly because the red crescent shape is cut off by the forehead, so the single center gem is the perfect fit. The face bolts & nose also fit perfectly with the gems. It's great to see more wonderful works from them, highlighting every character as they go! |

Silver & Super Silver get the head/pendant treatment at the same time with King Ice. And, they do well with both, getting the sculpt for how his ears are behind the bangs-spikes, and having the spikes curving right for the super version. The super version gems color is also that kind of pale yellow gold that really reprsents his correct color in the games. (Is the double band of black gems on the regular version a tad thick or correct?) Either way, these large pendant faces are instantly recognizable, and collectible. |

"Best friends jewelry" is really 'in' at Hot Topic, as here comes more paired items, this time for Shadow fans. There's the Best Friends Necklaces, each with black metal chain and metal Shadow charm. Then, there's Best Friends Bracelets which are either red or black cord, with a Shadow face charm in the center. The necklaces are 11 dollars and the bracelets are 9. It's good to see him on casual jewelry as well, and the prices are pretty reasonable here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Super Best Friends? It's more friends-jewelry pairs, this time with Super Sonic and Super Shadow. There are 2 necklaces to collect, each with an enamel pendant of their only stock art, with a round/shiny disk background. These look to be enamel. The bracelets are probably metal chain/bead, with a charm for each character in the middle, and color coordinated 4 beads surrounding it. So, red beads for Shadow and blue beads for Sonic. Both of these sets are 10 dollars each, and are at Hot Topic in 2025. |

"Name Beads" making a comeback? Small white beads with 1 letter each were popular long ago. People used it to spell their name onto jewelry or have a simple slogan on something. Here, Hot Topic brings out a bracelet pair with plastic charm for Sonic and Shadow. The Shadow bracelet has his name and is made of red and black braided cord. The Sonic one has his name with red and blue braided cord. (Disregard that the W is a bit separate, the beads can slide a little) They're likely ok for casual jewelry, as long as the charms are sturdy enough. These should be about 10 dollars. |

Here's a good deal! 6 pairs of earrings for 13 dollars. This is a Hot Topic 2025 item. They're for pierced ears, with 3 forward-facing character faces with post backs for the top row, and 3 hoop with dangle charm for the bottom row. You get mad Tails, the Sonic X type side-spikes Sonic, and normal forward facing shadow. Then, the dangle charms are Eggman faces, green transparent/faceted Chaos Emeralds and fist-forward Shadow. Interestingly, the emerald pair has gold hoops/loops while the other 2 have silver. It is probably also fun to mix and match them, like do 1 Sonic and a chaos emerald, or pair him & Tails together or so. They're not very big, so they're probably also not that heavy/won't pull your ear. This is a fun set, and a good idea at a reasonable price. |
