Dracolite pagan medieval leaf necklaceA 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.

Chrononaut Mercantile victorian steampunk compass rose necklaceClothing, 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!

WalkingCanesNet Victorian gothic snake caneLots of potential for Victorian and fantasy accessorization, as this catalog sports a Fashion and Style section along with the no-frills medical stuff. Wooden dog heads that evoke the scent of leather and scotch, Derby-handled styles floralized with purple pansies that look like things Sarah Waters’ characters would carry, there’s at least one grinning skull in here, and gnarled shepard’s crooks match perfectly to wizards’ robes. They also carry canes that slide off to reveal hidden swords.

Princess Madison retro veiled hatFripperies combining Victorian propriety with burlesque tease, resulting in decadent cancan accessorization. Lots of headpieces in fascinator clips, long black veils, and flowery little hats trimmed with netted veils and trailing ribbons. Neckwear is also abundant in ruffled lace chokers and vampire-aristocrat ascots, and it’s a good place if you like your stuff studded with cameos.
