I made a cord to go with the pendant from yesterday. It doesn’t match my dress but it makes me feel beautiful! I am enjoying wearing this one before it goes out on the shelf tomorrow. 💙

One of my necklaces found the perfect home with Southern Illinois swamp witch! 🖤💀

Swamp Witch creates incredible bedazzled skulls and other one-of-a-kind pieces using real animal bone. And this necklace? The heart-shaped pendant is actually a piece of bone. 🦴❤️

Talk about a perfect match! A little dark, a little witchy, a little wild—and made for her. ✨

I only have these two available - size 9 and 7.5. Green cats eye and bronze wire. The elongated oval bead sits nicely on the top of the finger. Earthy colors - great for nature and mushroom lovers! 🍃🍄‍🟫
