Who says “bling” is dead?  According to Karl Lagerfeld it is.  The fashion icon recently declared: “Bling is over. I call it ‘the New Modesty’.”

Do you disagree?  Do you “bedazzle” everything you can get your hands on?  Did you get giddy when saw the images of the Goldstriker all 24ct gold iPhone 3G, but your checkbook just wouldn’t allow it?

If so, then here’s another more affordable, yet equally as gaudy option to consider.

Hong Kong based Audrey Charm has introduced Swarovski decor frames for the iPhone 3G, iPod touch (2nd Generation), and iPod nano (4th Generation).

Made from 100% genuine Swarovski crystals. with  silver, gold, or chromium plated metal, each frame features protective neoprene inner lining, cutouts for access to all ports and controls, as well as holes for attaching a lanyard or decorative charm.  The crystals themselves are available in either pink, clear, or black.

The frames fit the iPhone 3G, iPod touch (2^nd Generation), and iPod nano (4^th Generation) and are available for $66, $56, and $46, respectively.

If you just have to have one, be prepared for stares from onlookers that are sure to accompany it.

On the more positive side, Audrey Charm, which is named after Audrey Hephurn donates 10% of every sale to the starlet’s favorite charity, Unicef.

You can find out more about the frames on the Audrey Charm’s web site.
