TIS’ THE SEASON FOR BUGS!!!

 

Scary Whimsical Bug Jewelry for Halloween



If you are a collector of  animal jewelry, this is your time of year!  Halloween!   Little kids will scream and run away from insect jewelry like spiders.  And BIG kids at heart seem to positively melt at the sight of whimsical jewelry like jeweled beetles and snakes.

I have one pair of insect earrings.  That’s all I need, because bugs gross me out. But if you love insect jewelry, Halloween is the time to flash your Jewelrystash. 

FRIGHT NIGHT TIPS

• Realistic animal depictions are eerier than abstract images.
• A bug ring on the hand that gives candy is very chilling-I once used black plastic spider rings to great effect.
• A costume or overall décor theme related to your insect jewelry can intensify the creepy effect.
• Bigger bug jewelry works best for scaring kids.




Vintage Bug Pin




• Junk jewelry is the best option so you can keep gold, collectible animal jewelry safely tucked-away.
• Mexican Taxco sterling silver jewelry comes in numerous, very scary designs for Halloween.  Vintage and modern items are easy to find, online and at silver markets.

GIVING JEWELRY FROM THE DARK SIDE

Gifting skull, Gothic and vampire jewelry styles that shout “Be afraid, be very afraid” has gone mainstream. Skull jewelry is now widely available and easy to buy and give as a gift.

Years ago this type of jewelry was only sold at small darkly- lite shops, at the back of low-rent shopping malls, on the bad side of town.

The popularity of this jewelry is largely due to best-selling morbid and dark-themed video games.  For most wearers, it’s just a fantasy fashion style.

So what, if it's not Halloween yet.

But you may know individuals who need to display this type of jewelry style.  For some, it’s their way of protecting themselves.

The loving symbolism behind a diamond cross or heart pendant is not the message these individuals want to send to people they encounter.  So give them the appropriate jewelry gift choice, unless you really want them to know about a more inspiring message.
