Betsey from Relapse hipped us to Blood Milk Jewelry the other day…and I am so happy she did. Blood Milk is one of those diamonds in the rough on Etsy.com, which I find overwhelmingly felt and stitching potholder-y most of the time. She make one-of-a-kind rings, necklaces and bracelets using rose gold, oxidized sterling silver and oxidized brass. Her inspiration is a mixture of all of the witchcrafts that have been a part of European culture for millenia, from pre-Celtic pentagrams to Gypsy tarot to Victorian spiritualism. She uses a lot of animal parts in her jewelry, but in a way that suggests the components of a powerful spell. She creates rings out of talons and skulls and bracelets from bones. The resulting pieces are both sinister and delicate at the same time. Many of the pieces she creates are feminine, but she makes some intense double-finger rings, like her eagle talons ring, that would look epic on guys too. She has a massive inventory on her Etsy store, and I ventured into it and chose some of my favorite pieces to share after the jump…
SNAKE RIB BRACELET – STERLING SILVER
SNAKE RIB & TWIG PENTAGRAM PENDANT – STERLING SILVER
SWORD PENDANTS – ROSE GOLD OR STERLING SILVER
CONJOINED SKULL RING – ROSE GOLD
OWL CLAW – OXIDIZED BRASS
And so much more at the Blood Milk store…
