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.

Tinker’s Witch Crafts

lilah wild — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 20:38:40 +0000

Esoteric enchantments from New Jersey! This assemblage artist’s vision blends the earthy and spiritual with a rock’n'roll vibe: shrines take the form of flowery tiki huts, rustic witch dolls are behatted with tattoo print, the art cards are little collages of found Victoriana and ransom-note intensity, the jewelry clusters shiny bric-a-brac around glass and clay Third Eyes, the sock monkeys are voodoo dolls, and if that’s not enough, you can pick up a fez stitched up from shabby chic upholstery. Also check out her music blog, Tink’s Atomic Universe: Vinyl Musings from the Zombie Queen

Dracolite/Bijoux Medievaux

A big catalog of medieval jewelry, where Celtic swirls, gothic spiders, and pagan moons are blown up bold and ornate and sprinkled with crystals. Statement pendants of the ren-faire variety, rings of twisted silver, handflowers and headdresses, and the unusual inclusion of chain belts, which are like big glittery necklaces for the waist. The clothing updates historical dress with a little goth detailing – good stuff for men here – along with wedding gowns and a little mystical leather.

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.

Decor and adornment replicated from art and artifacts around the world: Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Hindu, Asian, African, Aztec, medieval, and a touch of abstract modern are scattered throughout pages of historically-inspired jewelry and housewares. Loads of statuary from Buddha to Beethoven, the games include mummy bridge decks, the gadgetry runs towards sundials and hourglasses, and Frank Lloyd wright pops up in the earrings. Thanks Neil!

Lunarra Star

Twinkling things made of of teacups and fairytales. Much of the jewelry is pictorial – a whole section is devoted to Alice in Wonderland – mixed up with cameos and lockets and sterling charms and bottles of sparkly dust, occasionally detouring into the rainbow arrangements of chakra pieces.

The Gearhead Factory

lilah wild — Tue, 05 May 2009 23:25:00 +0000

Jewelry fashioned from dichrotic glass and watch parts, sometimes at the same time, making for some colorful steampunk pieces that appear to be powered by gemstones. Dominos remade into floral tableaux, glass-fronted lockets, polymer clay turned psychedelic and goddess-faced and wrapped in tribal wire, and plain old timepiece designs for the mad scientist purists. Custom welcome.

Cthulhu cufflinks, Mana pendants, pirate coins, Ouroboros earrings, “geek tags,” and swirls of Elvishness predominate, punctuated with medieval fleur-de-lys and goth battiness. Thanks, Lois!
