Spooky Sparklers

Boo! Jewels that get your heart racing.

Skulls have always been my spooky jewelry go-to. And skulls are one of the oldest known motifs of mourning jewelry dating back to the Middle Ages popularized by Queen Victoria after her beloved Prince Albert’s death. They reminded people to live a virtuous life. Spiders? Not so much. But when rose gold and yellow diamonds are involved, I could face my fear. Bewitching jewelry has a permanent spotlight every October, and when the tricks are over, a beautiful piece of jewelry remains.
