Russian niche-tech Gresso has taken a slightly different track from their usual line of expensive, luxury cellphones with the release of their similarly expensive luxury USB-key necklaces.

In this day and age (let's face it, it's 2008 - we're officially 'in the future' now) just about everyone in the professional industry finds a USB key to be increasingly useful. Traditionally, USB keys are ugly, plastic, stick-shaped things that nobody really wants to be seen dead with (that's why we keep them in our pockets until the last minute). Gresso steps in to shake up the paradigm a little.

At only 1GB, Gresso's hyper-expensive yet stylish USB keys lack the capacity to be entirely useful, and their range is lacking in items that aren't adorned with swarovski crystals - but their entrance into the market will hopefully prompt some of the more mainstream manufacturers to start coming up with some new ideas. All considered, they may be useful for storing an appropriately large quantity personal documents and images.

Priced at between $100 and $1,000, you'll be able to obtain one of these beautiful keys from Gresso's website. Truly, this falls into the category of 'luxury item'.
