You'd be surprised how many articles will just come to you simply by aimlessly wandering Amazon
For some reason, I always saw The Dark Tower as something of a cult favorite among King fans.
Yes, the books were written by one of the most successful writers of the past few decades and the comics have been a huge hit, but it never came off as "mainstream" to me. It was a franchise that only ardent Stephen King fans knew about and were familiar with. There was talk of bringing it to film, and it even has its own page on TvTropes, but it still never crossed that line in my mind.
Well, I think it just took another step. I found out that there was actually Dark Tower jewelry. Yes, you can buy pendant chains, cuff links, tie bar clips, and lapel pins that feature the ka-tet symbol, the sigul of the Crimson King, or the Eld logo. Apparently, they are very rare as there is only one used item available for each one, yet they're not too expensive.
At first, I was perplexed as to why someone would wear a pendant with the Crimson King symbol on it. I mean, he's an agent of pure evil who tried to destroy the multiverse. Then I remembered that I myself own a Dark Knight t-shirt with the Joker on it so that complaint went right out the window.
The only other time I've seen literature inspired jewelry was with Lord of the Rings. I don't remember what the website was, but I found out that you can buy elvish rings and earrings.
I don't know when these were made available. I was suspicious at first, just because I found it odd that there was only one of any given item available, but the seller rating is pretty high so it appears to be legit.
