Etsy Extravaganza

Deviant art is always a great source of awesome etsy and web stores, since they use it to showcase their handmade creations. Vae Nox is one of these etsy stores - she creates really beautiful anatomical inspired jewelry, which I think would fit gothic lolita or visual kei fashion really well.
I love the eyeballs she uses, the color is SO nice.
Some of the pinker stuff is slightly more suitable for pastel/kawaii goth, but there are fewer items.
Most of the necklaces are about $25, which I think would work out about £20. These are some really nice statement necklaces that could be used with plainer outfits to to jazz them up.

The next etsy I really like is Beatblack - the jewelry is just totally unique, the style almost resembles scrawly illustration style art. The prices range greatly depending on the amount of sculpting done for each piece ( most of the pieces are made of ploymer, which is super strong plastic type clay), and you can request pieces in your own color choice - these are some of my favorites:
This is an expensive piece at $50, but I suppose it's worth all that detail - it glows in the dark too, perfect for dark parties and concerts.
These are $18, and something I can totally visualize 2NE1 wearing.
These are $20, and although I don't think they're that special,  it might suit people who want in on the eyeball thing but don't like the crazy color scheme/glitter that sometimes comes with it.
Slinkskull  makes a varied mix of sweet and dark pieces. Some of the cameos have an almost jelly-like glitter appearance that likens them to barbie jewelry.


OMGLOB UNICONZ

On the whole unicorn theme, CMD Custom has this super simple acrylic one, for people who aren't fans of all the  bling but still love unicorns (not that I understand how that works, Unicorns are kings of bling). The acrylic cross necklace is also really popular right now, I've seen a lot of them (particularly glittery ones), but I think this one is quite different because it's rounded and hollow (though it might just snag on anything and everything, who knows). 


Lastly is Skaior, which sells mostly victorian-esque/steampunk items etc. There are a few items in there though that could be combined into some key trends, especially these wing cufflinks (I feel weird saying I like cufflinks, but I think even though theyre primarily for men, they could look nice with a sheer long sleeved shirt, as well as making those boring formal attire outfits a bit more interesting).

These Fleur earrings sort of remind me of the Chrome hearts jewelry designs. As for more cross necklaces, this one is really pretty, and I think these octopus earrings would look amazing with green/aqua hair and blue/green clothes. 
Undah da sea, trust me itz bettah down whur itz wettah take it frum meh.
