Alma Mater

Yeah, I didn't exactly love my school, but this sure beats a class ring or shotglass.

Bittersweets.

S made a post about some lovely macabre jewelry the other day--Yoshiko Creations, to be exact.

i am a fan of having a sense of humor in clothing, especially things that are traditionally very feminine, like making the subject matter of dainty jewelry things like nasty bugs and creepy body parts.
yes ma'am.

Pretty, Dark Things

Another scan from PS. Jewelry these days, like most things, is not subtle or delicate. Jangly gold heavy things with humongous faux gems that dangle like baubles just do not appeal to me. I grow increasingly tired of Alex & Chloe, as well. Their new collection sucks and reeks of blatant francophilic hipster exploitation.

In any case, here are a few pretty pieces by Yoshiko Creation Paris -- I'm generally not fond of skulls in jewelry, but I love the charm below. These understated pieces sort of remind me of the terrible black velveteen ribbons and dresses I would wear to my piano recitals as a kid. Sort of pretty Addams Familyesque.
