Medieval-inspired baubles modernized into chic bits of gemstoned silver. Twisted Celtic drops like tiny daggers, intricate nouveau-style arrowheads, sparkling crosses, studded hearts, rugged little delicacies that can be customized somewhat with the stone of your choice. Of special note are the engagement and wedding rings, where Moorish bands and amethyst diamonds offer goth-industrial glamour to dark brides and grooms making the most of a small budget.

A well-curated shop of jewelry that traipses through city streets and enchanted woods and mid-century dressing tables, lots of good understated strangeness in here: a necklace where a 14k gold dagger pokes into a solid silver anatomical heart, silver talons or witch hands or melting hearts to protrude through the ears, tree trunk rings complete with carved lovers’ hearts, name necklaces bathed in elegant curlicues. They also have an entire section devoted to wedding bands.

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!
