Designer Carl Burdick’s amusing bluetooth headset takes the technology-as-jewelry trend, smashes it into the Retro Objects movement with an old-school telephone form factor, and adds a dash of ’80s Executive Desk.

We here at Core77 have been pretty clear about our stance on plagiarism in the past. Today, our friends over at Unbeige flagged a new collection, “Tiffany Twist,” from Tiffany & Co. With Mother’s Day just around the corner, the company has been pushing the collection.
