With the vampire and werewolf motif ricocheting through Hollywood, it was only a matter of time before this trend transcended the entertainment industry and reincarnated itself in luxury jewelry. The designers behind Demitasse Jewelry thought just that. Their most recent line under the Metropolitan Collection, Vampire Chronicles, introduces a set of edgy necklaces that has clearly been bitten by the Twilight bug.
In three standout pieces, the Vampire Chronicles mix classical elements, such as the rosary design, and haunting representations of fangs and bullets to create the ultimate collection of seductive jewelry. The DemiVamp Necklace pairs a 30” chain with a ring of fangs and a bullet tip center. Colors available include ancient brass, silver bullet and rose heart. If that doesn’t satisfy your taste for intensity, the DemiVamp Rosary Necklace is a similar style with precious beading along the chain.
Colors vary from garnet antique brass and smoky quartz antique brass to pearls and silver. But if you’re looking for something that leaves a deeper, more piercing impression, one must recommend the DemiBullet necklace with your choice of a 3” inch bullet in silver, gold or brass. You don’t have to be a fan of the Twilight craze to appreciate a must-have necklace. Now go throw on some violet lip paste, snag one of these limited necklaces from Demitasse’s Vampire Chronicles, and release your inner temptress.
This collection retails between $48-115 at Demitasse.
