Rappers will no doubt find this sterling silver lump of jewellery quite understated but for the rest of us, it may prove a little on the big side.

That said, it’s a ring with a difference since it houses a microphone and has a 3.5mm mini-jack input on the side. Why? Who cares?

The Analogue Ring will obviously be a hit with the those opinionated ‘Girlfrens’ who already spend a lot of their time talking into their hands, in between stabbing their friends in the back. It measures 18 x 18 x 14mm, so it deserves its chunky status. Jump now a pic of it on a finger to see what I mean.

The grille is made from aluminium and even though this piece of bling has limited uses, there’ll be very few people out there with something quite this odd. Truly a talking point at parties. Yours for around £55 here.

According to bookmaker Paddy Power, people in the UK have staked around £11,000 so far, trying to figure out which thumb-twiddling game will top the Xmas charts. Paddy Power started taking No. 1 bets on games back in 2003, when it recorded a measly 60 bets worth £180. This year, the bet count stands at 650.
