Creepy Creations

Chills, thrills, and diamonds.
What gives you the scaries (besides Sundays)? Ghosts. Vampires. Spiders. I grew up watching scary movies from a probably too-young age, so I have a pretty high horror tolerance. But the one creature that gives me the serious scaries is aliens. Clowns are a close creepy second. Gothic jewelry is where thrills and gemstones merge for a mesmerizing PG-rated showcase. Beware our favorite pieces that can elevate your costume or outfit for Halloween and beyond.
