"Okay so I like creepy things"
The detail in these is amazing. They are small but amazingly detailed and you cant always tell they are skulls unless you really look at them, so I only creep out the observant. I wear them all the time, not just in October.

"Wonderful AND Wonderfully Unique."
I may be writing this review in the middle of October, but these were not a Halloween purposed purchase. They are exquisite in the gentle touch required to carve these skulls, by hand, and not detail is remiss. I do have a fondness for skulls, inasmuch that I have a congenital disorder known as Chiari 1 Malformation (and accompanying syringomyelia). It sounds strange to say Im learning to embrace my skull, but I am. Im managing my symptoms, and I dont mind telling others about it as they inquire, and I just simply find these skulls stunning.

"Gorgeous bone earrings"
I love rose inspired jewelry and I love carved bone These earrings will not dissapoint! They match the bone rose pendants that Novica offers. I chose the dangle version because I have long hair. I love the color of the bone. The detail is very well crafted. I will enjoy wearing them! Thank you!!

People ask me where I got them because the style is unique. Theyre elegant and, to me, a mixture of feminine grace and masculine strength.
