Who's selling them?
I have a sterling silver sequoia earing that's about 3/4" long. I wear it when I put on my Oak Man/Euc Man costume.

Sherrill. Scott Profit had them made. They will be in silver, solid gold and even brass (for training tools). The mini pulley's side plates even swivel.
I bought some mini-pullies, connectors, fish weighing scales, synthetic twine, and various instruments to measure angles. The fish weighing scales aren't accurate, but, accurate enough to see the trends from the weight measurements. I confirmed the accuracy of the speed line/dwt equations with the fish scales. It sounds chinzy, but 1 can't argue with the equipment used for the science when the theory still matches the empirical data.
Swiveling side plates on mini-pullies would be helpful. My pullies have fixed side plates. This means I need to thread my twine through the pullies. I see the mini-port-a-wrap as nothing more than a marketing ploy. I guess that may be a reason why they were made, besides $$$. For a mini-rigging system it's not needed. I would like to have better scales for small weights. I know better scales are out there somewhere.
Perhaps you guys can put together a Radioshack type experimental laboratory that has the components for measuring the forces in some rigging situations. Then, provide a manual which teaches the physical theory 1st. Then, provide a way to record and present the data so 1 can compare the theory against the empirical data. For those interested in such an idea, something of this nature would be an invaluable learning tool.
Would I buy the stuff as jewelry? Maybe, maybe not.

If people think the laboratory idea is something worthwhile, let it be known. The people who frequent and own this site can make it happen.
We need better learning tools, not jewelry. It can't all be passed to us from another in the field. The people simply aren't out here to teach us. The various training schools aren't offering apprenticeships or a 12 week college technical course in applied mechanics of tree care. Their time is limited to a short period. We'll learn, but I don't think it's enough. People need to speak up. Say so if you want something like the lab available to you. Create the demand and make it happen!

What are you smoking Joe? You are sounding a bit erratic and retarded.
Yes, you could be correct. Maybe the lab stuff needed to be a totally different thread. Anyway, the lab idea is what I thought of when Mark posted the pic of the jewelry. The wild thing about the jewelry comment is I didn't expect to personally see it so soon. Though, I can't see anything retarded about what I posted.
