Handmade jewels hybridized from metal and gemstones. Among silver honeycombs, small waterfalls of chain, and quartz-beaded “full moons,” the Bonne Chance collection renders the rockabilly card suit in rivety discs and dangling charms. Commissions welcome.

Bohemian style that mixes kurta and kimono flair into flowery little day dresses and broomstick skirts. Lots of Papillon, lots of embroidery and sequins. The jewelry throws Swarovski crystals into falls of gemstones and beads, and the aromatherapy page features soy candles that melt into massage oil.

Clothing, accessories, and jewelry from worlds long ago and/or far away. Fairy clusters of gemstones and pearls, medieval capelets and cloaks, pirate coats and vests, steampunk jackets and goggles. The actionwear looks crafted for performance, not just show – the outerwear drops fancy brocades in favor of seawater-surviving canvas, and the swashbuckling bags follow suit with elegant durability. Thanks Miko!

Medieval accessorization in the form of one-of-a-kind dainty little purses whipped up out of tapestries, crystals, and little found bits, frequently crafted with back pockets for cellphone storage. Flowers are clustered together for garlands and roundels, and there are tiaras, circlets, and crowns for twinklier headpieces. The jewelry is full of gemstones and pagan symbolism, the stationery is all fantasy-warrior-witchy chicks, and commissions are welcome, especially for bridal goodies.

All kinds of costume and estate jewelry from the Victorian era up through the 60’s, meticulously organized by designer, era, and material. Bakelite bangles, flamboyant brooches, Czech glass necklaces, charm bracelets loaded with clacking beads, showgirl earrings, rhinestone dress clips, and some glamorous miscellanea of flapper bags and celluloid hair combs. There’s also a “wearable wounded” section for still-lovely items in need of a little TLC. Thanks, Miko!

While the name kindles images of intimate adornment, this site looks like a sci-fi villain’s treasure chest. Necklaces that wrap around the back, menacing pointed chokers, demonic codpieces, “alien lockets,” daggers and axes, bold chunks of gemstone, much of it made with secret compartments and hidden doors. Even glasses can be reworked for a subtle bit of futuristic style. And they do deliver on the erotic front – these are nipple shields ready for battle.

An engagement ring jeweler who also has a flair for darker ornamentation. Tribal and tentacled designs pop up in her Adornments sections, where gemstones are cradled in silver tendrils, and dramatic neckpieces evoke dancing flames. The bridal sparkles play with complementary pieces, most notably in the wedding set where raised and recessed locks are made to fit into each other. Custom extremely welcome and encouraged.
