When it comes to bling bling, Hollywood has long relied on the services of big names such as Jacob the Jeweler. Soon, the gaming world may call on a jeweler of their own. Third Project Juno has hand-crafted a slew of gaming related jewelry pretty enough to make Jay-Z holla-at-ya-gameboy! See what I did there? [...]
