Rocker Skull Bracelets

Recently, I and my sisters have been obsessed with skull bracelets. I already own a few of them, but I don't think you can ever have enough. On our recent trip to the jewelry store, my sister found this black skull bracelet that I really love. You can wear it as a statement piece or you can stack it with other bracelets. I wanted it to have a rocker vibe, so I chose a smaller skull bracelet to go with it. Though some people may find it unusual, but skulls really bring an edge to an outfit.

This particular black skull bracelet is even more interesting for it's character. It reminds me of my newly discovered Van Gogh painting, Skull of a Skeleton with Burning Cigarette (1886). I read in a blog post that he painted this specific piece as an academic observation of human anatomy. However, he also made it humorous by adding a cigarette.

I like that about my stacked bracelets, in that it has some humor. The symbol of the skulls has is own irony; it's both morbid and comical. It just made my little black dress a little bit more playful.
