Remember in grade school, when some teachers would wear those silly Halloween earrings? Like novelty black cats and witches’ hats, jack-o’-lanterns, and ghosts? Who am I kidding—I had a few pairs myself (I was a reliable patron of Claire’s Fashion Jewelry & Accessories). Well, we’ve come a long way since then. Look no further than everyone’s current favorite photo platform for some of the most incredible jewelry creations that will send a shiver down your spine. Instagram is chock- full of sensationally spooky examples: skulls, serial killers, even a necklace made of real human teeth (yes, really). Here are five to send you into your weekend. Have a safe and happy Halloween!
