Mermaid Skeleton Necklace

A mermaid picked clean to the bone, strung on a thin cable chain. The pendant runs from a grinning skull down a ribbed torso, past two thin hanging arms, into a fishbone spine that tapers and fans into a tail fin. It is the siren after the story ends, and it wears like the sweetest kind of warning.

Design: articulated mermaid skeleton with skull head, ribbed torso and hanging arms Motif: skeleton, fishbone spine, fanned mermaid tail fin Shape: long vertical drop pendant, wide at the ribs, narrow at the tail Finish: antiqued silver-tone with darkened recesses in the ribs and eye sockets Chain: thin cable chain necklace Closure: clasp fastening with extender links Attachment: fixed bail loop at the crown of the skull Quantity: one necklace with pendant

This one belongs to the dark feminine and whimsigoth crowd, the girls who wear lace with combat boots and read tarot at the beach. Layer it over a black slip dress, a ribbed tank, a sheer mesh long sleeve, or let it hang alone down a cropped cardigan in autumn. It makes a good witchy gift, a good birthday gift for a goth girlfriend, and a good alt gift for her when you already know the aesthetic by name.

Wear it long, so the tail fin swings when you move.
