With Halloween approaching and the return of one of my guilty pleasure TV series “Sons of Anarchy” , I was inspired to make some fun gothic jewelry. My real life couldn't be further from what happens on the show but I do have some things in common with the female characters style: B L I N G. I love it when worlds collide.
Included in my Blue Moon Bead design team supplies (all supplies are Blue Moon Beads ; design is my own) were strands of black and clear crystal beads with rhinestone skulls. Also included were silver filigree bow beads.
My photography skills don’t do the details justice but these are the perfect combination of gothic and girly , bold and bling.
For the earrings I strung a glass bead, skull bead and bow bead on a head pin and attached to pendant pieces. These are non-pierced earrings so I glued clip findings to the back of the pendants.
For the bracelet, I used stretchy cord, two of the clear rhinestone skull beads , one of the bow beads and alternating black and clear crystal beads.
For the necklace ( choker length) I used two different chains, more of the pendants made the same way as the earrings and then clear and black beads on head pins attached directly to the links with jump rings.
Blue Moon Beads can be found at your local JoAnns.

Ooh! I don't always like skulls, but I loooove these rhinestone ones! Really like how you paired them with those bows, and of course the antiqued metal finished for your usual classy result. So pretty!
