Skull Medallion Necklace

A skull carved in high relief at the center of a round medallion, ringed by engraved scrollwork and a crown of spiked points. The disc narrows to a sharp tip at the bottom and hangs from a patterned tube bail, so the whole pendant reads like a relic pulled from a reliquary rather than a costume box. This is the romantic goth side of dark feminine jewelry, all cathedral ornament and bone.

Design: high-relief skull centered on a round disc, engraved scrollwork border Motif: gothic skull medallion with spiked rim and pointed lower tip Finish: antiqued silver-tone with darkened recesses Shape: round medallion tapering to a point Bail: patterned tube bail Chain: box chain Includes: pendant on chain Quantity: one necklace

It suits the woman who wears black lace with heavy boots and wants one piece doing all the talking. Layer it over a ribbed black turtleneck, a slip dress, a leather jacket or an oversized white shirt, and let the medallion sit low where the scrollwork catches light. Good for autumn and winter dressing, concert nights, dark academia lecture halls and any Friday that calls for silver gothic jewelry. It makes a strong birthday gift for a goth girlfriend, a witchy gift, or an alternative gift for her when you already know the aesthetic by name.

Wear it alone on a bare collarbone, or stack it with a thin chain for contrast.
