This isn’t just a gothic baddie necklace, it’s a story captured in clay and metal. Each piece is carefully shaped by hand, made with patience, and finished with small imperfections that whisper it’s truly handmade.
The centerpiece is a clay doll whose body transforms into a dark butterfly. Above its brow rests a serpent’s head with a straight body, like a silent guardian watching over. Each wing is crowned with skulls, balancing fragile beauty with the weight of decay. The cross chain itself is built with a stark rhythm, like a rosary broken and remade into something rebellious.
It’s a statement of identity. Made for those who live between shadows and light, this piece carries a raw, gothic energy. It’s a beautiful goth necklace for when you want your jewelry to say something louder than words: I am different, and I wear it with pride.

Design Inspiration
This gothic baddie necklace was born from the collision of beauty and ruin. The butterfly is a classic symbol of freedom, but here its body becomes a doll, fragile, unsettling, and hauntingly human. The skulls on its wings remind us that transformation always comes with loss, while the serpent crown suggests both danger and rebirth.
I wanted to create a piece that spoke to the gothic heart: the side that embraces sorrow but turns it into strength. Every element, like the clay doll, the serpentine curve, the tiny crosses, was chosen to hold that tension between innocence and corruption, life and decay.
For me, this design is about honesty. About wearing your shadows proudly, not hiding them. About finding beauty in the broken and power in the dark.
This goth necklace is for those who refuse to blend in. For the ones who want their jewelry to tell the truth about who they are.
How It’s Made
Hand-shaped in stone clay: every goth doll, every tiny skull is shaped by hand.
Naturally air-dried to preserve the integrity and texture of the clay.
Refined, shaped, and sanded so the surfaces feel smooth but retain character.
Painted by hand with custom-mixed colors: no mass-production paints, each tone is chosen for mood.
Decorated with tiny details: skulls, the serpent head, the butterfly wings, each small accent placed with intention.
Sealed with a protective finish so color holds up, even if worn often.
Paired with beads and chains in this necklace: the chain and cross are built to complement the pendant’s vibe.
Assembled with care: including the connections, the jump rings, and the clasp, everything checked.
Final quality check before shipping: I inspect each piece under good light, test strength, check finish, only then pack it up.
Order Processing
Made to Order: I begin creating your piece only after your order is placed. This isn’t pulled off a shelf, and what you receive is fresh from my hands, made just for you. That’s the kind of slow art I believe in.
Processing Time:
Handmade takes time. It usually takes 4 to 15 days for me to finish.
I often finish sooner and ship early if possible.

Care Instructions
- Avoid water: These are not waterproof. Take them off before swimming, showering, or sweating it out.
- Keep them dry: If they get damp, gently wipe them with an alcohol pad and let them fully air dry.
- Store properly: Place in a soft pouch or jewelry box when not in use.
- Be gentle when cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid chemicals. For metal parts, a slightly damp cloth is fine.
- Avoid scratching: Keep them away from sharp edges or rough surfaces.
- No perfumes or lotions: Don’t spray directly or apply cream over them. Let your skin dry first.
- Avoid chemicals and heavy work: Don’t wear while cleaning, doing chores, or handling harsh substances. Sweat, detergents, and friction can damage the finish or cause oxidation over time.
- Even high-quality metals like solid gold, sterling silver, or gold-plated parts may naturally oxidize and darken over time with wear.

About Me
I’m a deeply emotional and sometimes pessimistic person. Making handmade pieces has been my healing, it’s where I find joy so real that I often lose track of time and forget to eat. I just want to do what I love and support myself, so my prices reflect that balance.
When I first started selling online, I faced a lot of pain from stolen designs and copycats. It was tough. I cried more than once. But the kindness and support from strangers like you kept me going. You’re more than customers, you’re friends I haven’t met yet.
This little shop is a piece of my healing. I hope it brings you a piece of yours, too. Thank you for being part of this journey with me.
