boned and dethroned

Honestly, what I've wanted, more than all of the jewelry I've featured, is these rings from the Bone Room, a store in Berkeley. They've been sold out for so long I'm ready to die over it. I guess they don't have a manufacturer anymore (?), not sure, not the point. The point is that I PINE for these rings. PINE, I tell you.

Another piece from the site, an anteater vertebrae & rib bracelet, I've largely ignored because of the other picture on the site was so unappealing. But this picture is much better: it shows two of the bracelets interlocked together, and I want it too, especially after having just bought vertebrae friendship necklaces with my friend Paris, and these interlock into each other too. I don't own a bracelet (literally, not a one), so these could be some excellent investment pieces for me.

friend is a four-letter word

Finals are almost over... By noon tomorrow I will be DONE. But I still have to finish packing, sooo here are some more photos of creepy jewelry that only I will enjoy. It's cool. Loner in the real world, loner in the virt world.

Rib Cage and Spine Necklaces, also from Lillian Crowe, from Etsy. She does some other cool pieces, including an anatomically-correct heart pendant.

And when you put them together... you get a substantial portion of the skeletal system! I think this would make an AMAZING friendship necklace set. Very literal in its "you complete me" message.

Another friendship necklace set, this times halves of a human heart. I'm not a fan of hearts as a motif in general, but I'm all up on this one. By Bittersweets NY (of Vamp Ring fame).

Noose and Guillotine Friendship necklace sets from Screaming Mimis.

DNA/RNA friendship necklaces from Etsy. A liiiittle too geeky for my taste, plus as a humanities major I'd feel like I was selling out.

Tooth-ship necklaces from this lady's flikr set. I know, I know, desist with the teeth. I think it's a cool idea though.

There are of course cute versions out there, and I don't mean just the multitudinous split-hearts, but PB&J sandwiches, etc. Basically you can take two similar or identical necklaces and put them together and poof, friendship necklaces. Of course, there's really no point in me getting a friendship necklace set if I don't really have a BFF to wear them with. I'm not sure my BFF is down for the matching necklaces, so I'll leave this one alone...

Anyway, here's more stuff from Bittersweets, because I like me some dead stuff:

Maggot Charms - I would actually wear a charm bracelet, maybe, if someone gave me these.

Earthworm necklace and ring. I kind of wish it came without the diamond, because I'm too poor for that.

Heart with dagger necklace in which the dagger can be removed and hangs down. Maybe when I go through the crushing agony of a breakup I'll buy myself this. Just for fun, not as a promise of retribution or anything...
