Pride and Prejudice and Zombies…Jewelry With An Edge

I adore cameos, especially very old ones…cameos that have a story attached. I know my great-grandmother wore them but some how I was not lucky enough to inherit one of hers. Anyway, one day I was looking through etsy and happened upon these every cool cameos–instead of featuring beautiful ivory maidens, they featured intricate skeleton profiles! I immediately thought of the new wave of books such as “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies”, “Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters” and “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter”. I think this is a fun take on these classic stories and really quite unexpected. Why not take classic jewelry, such as cameos, and go for the unexpected? It does not take away from the beauty of original vintage pieces…it just puts a new spin on the idea. I wasn’t sure how I would create such pieces but I finally found a mold to use so I could create my very own skeleton cameos. I created the cameo and used vintage beads and other bits to finish the piece. I am in the midst of creating more but have posted photos of the one I just finished. Comments are, as always, very welcome. :^D

Cheers!
