$100 oil

Black Crude
| In November 2007, Design Glut announced that when and if crude hit $100/barrel, they would produce 100 limited-edition Crude Necklaces in black. These necklaces would be a symbol of the end of cheap fossil fuels. The pieces were also intended to create a historical marker, so that one day, when you are charging your electric car with your children, you can say, "I remember when crude hit $100."
