A number of pieces from Little Sister Designs caught my eye with their dark, delicate, lovely strangeness.
Most jewelry items contain sterling silver castings of bones, claws and other oddities.

I love the cuff bracelets from Unique Art Pendants (too bad my wrists are far too tiny for most standard bracelets).
Some of the lockets are great as well…
There are also art prints and all kinds of other jewelry (not all anatomical…I just have a soft spot for those designs).

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get the source link to work in order to gather more information about this piece…but it would be perfect for Halloween festivities (and year round for some folks).

Browsing Creatures from El inspired me to see if anyone was selling filigree bat jewelry on Etsy. Not filigree backings with bats attached…but intricately carved wing designs.
The incredible Fable and Fury did not disappoint! This is getting me in the Halloween spirit (not that I don’t enjoy bats all year round).
It also comes in silver (I believe I saw red as well)…
The black one is going on my wish list.
This Antique Bat Necklace also turned up…love this one too.

Oh humans…how you entertain me with your adornments. I do recall rumors about Acuvue’s diamond contact lens a while back:
Though I never heard any follow up information. Now we have La SER Eye Jewelry. Decadent? Perhaps. But creator Dr. Chandrashekhar Chawan not only donates treatments to those in need with every pair of contacts purchased, but never denies treatment to those unable to afford eye care.
A tad extreme for everyday wear (and I was once a goth), but perfect to craft a glittering undead or lavish android look.
For the happy couple…

Oh, we know I can’t resist a good piece of brain jewelry. Here are a couple from Beat Black.
A friendship necklace:
And for your classy ensembles…
There is some goth fare:
Perfect for Monster cons and B-movie marathons:

Something fans of Oddities may not know is that Ryan Matthew is also one of the owners of Against Nature, a lower east side atelier that specializes in bespoke suits.
From the website:
Inspiration is culled from a wide range of sources, yielding a distinctly contemporary collection that nonetheless recalls the fine craftsmanship, attention to detail, and sartorial elegance of an earlier epoch.For those wondering where Ryan gets his amazing suits…now you know.
While most contemporary clothing is mass produced on factory machines, Against Nature offers the opportunity to step back into a bygone age when clothing was custom tailored with choice fabric and impeccably measured to the exact specifications of the customer.
The store offers a wide variety of the finest quality imported material, and each suit is entirely hand crafted with multiple fittings over a one to two month period to ensure perfect construction.
Ryan crafts the perfect accessories (Victorian sensibility with a bit of edge) for suits of this caliber: rings, cufflinks, tie bars, stick pins, money clips, belts, bracelets.
No, they are not all skulls and bones…I just happen to like these…
Commissioning a suit from Against Nature is undoubtedly an experience of luxury- far from the common off-the-rack perusals where nothing seems to fit quite right.
See and learn more about this unique venture on the following sites:

I’ve seen some nicely detailed pendants, but this one takes the prize in an all new way!
Fable and Fury has an incredible collection of jewelry, a number of which are now on my wish list! As an added bonus, prices are very reasonable.

I’ve waded through a sea of advertising requests from sites that clearly do not belong on this blog (prefab vinyl siding, drug companies…you name it). So it’s a real treat to have support from sites that make one of a kind, dark delights I would personally add to my own collection of oddities.
I present: The Black Broom, purveyors of fine occult and dark unique wares.
Unique, indeed! Everything on the site is handcrafted and not available elsewhere. You’ll find things for the home, like this Devil Spoon:
Or if you prefer the devil on your wall…
I was really impressed with this necklace version of “The Kiss.” Truly haunting, and superbly crafted.
They carry one of my favorite alchemical symbols, the ouroboros (even the packaging is beautiful).
The roster of infamous man and myth that shows up in their products is worth perusing simply for the history! Gods and villains from a variety of cultures are cast in stone and metal, with a thorough description to accompany each piece (really, you’ll find everything from ancient legends to iconic lowbrow pop art).
You can even have them on buttons for your clothing!
Some objects are classy and refined, with a sinister twist.
…and their skull replicas appear disarmingly real.
Now, even though I’m a cheap bastard, I must say that their prices are quite good for handcrafted objects, meticulously constructed from quality material. A number of these items are going on my wish and gift lists.

The holidays are coming up, which means I don’t spend a penny on myself because I want to make sure my loved ones are taken care of.
If I had some change to spare, I’d DEFINITELY buy myself one of these incredible rings from Nicolette’s Jewelry.
This iridescent vintage glass ring blows my mind. It looks like abstract science art!
The best part? It’s ADJUSTABLE so I could make it fit my freakishly small fingers.
I like the green one even better because it’s vertical.
That one is on the very top of my wish list!
