Gothic Vampire Statement Necklace with Black Onyx & Garnet in Sterling Silver
- 🦇🩸One of a Kind!🩸
This one of a kind vampire statement necklace is a gothic crown jewel that sits with a satisfying weight on the chest, reminding you it’s there to protect your heart - the large black onyx lends protection from negative energy while the two bloody red Mozambique garnets inspire love and devotion. The pendant is made from two heavy layers of silver with a hand sawed lace border, large silver scrolling appliqués, and hangs from a thick sterling French rope chain. The silver appliqués are die-pressed by hand in-studio using a vintage die.
I was inspired by the vampire medallions you see in movies, and the luxurious designs of 19th century jewelry. I wanted it to look like the pendant belonged to some high ranking member of an ancient vampire council.
Made with (vampire) love in Fort Collins, Colorado.

GARNET
Garnets are one of the oldest known gemstones. It was believed that garnets could shield the wearer from harm and warriors would wear garnets into battle as protective talismans. Garnets were also traditionally associated with love, blood, and one's life force - it is a stone perfect for a vampire!
BLACK ONYX
Black onyx has been used as a talisman of protection and focus by many cultures for centuries. Onyx is named for the Greek word onux for "fingernail" or "claw" and is the birthstone of Leos. Some believe onyx can absorb negative energy to protect the wearer from ill intentions. According to folklore, Cleopatra would wear black onyx jewelry to alert her to nearby danger. It is also believed that onyx holds memories, and can assist the wearer by providing focus and stamina to navigate difficult times or decisions.

I do NOT accept returns for:
- Damage incurred with wear
- Improper jewelry care (see my Jewelry Care page for proper care instructions)
To keep your silver jewelry looking like new, take that extra second to remove it before cleaning, bathing, swimming, or any activity that would cause excess wear and tear. Avoid exposing your jewelry to perfumes, lotions, soaps and other liquids, as well as extreme heat.
If your jewelry becomes dirty, clean with a soft cloth or soft tooth brush and a mild soap if necessary (I use Dawn), or polish with a silver polishing cloth.
Please note that polishing cloths are infused with an abrasive and will remove intentional patina along with the unwanted tarnish, so take
care not to accidentally polish off the patina!
Finally, as a best practice, store your jewelry in a cool, dry place with your complimentary anti-tarnish tab.
