Obama Bling

While the Smithsonian's Hope diamond is priceless, other Obama bling is for sale — at affordable prices — all over D.C. Glistening earrings, pendants, belt buckles, necklaces, cuff links and pins are emblazoned with red, white and blue in honor of Obama. Local designer Ann Hand pays tribute to the President-elect with this flashy crystal necklace, right, which is available at her two stores or online ($95; 4885 MacArthur Blvd. NW, 2900 M Street NW or www.annhand.com).
