This collection takes inspiration from the wintery world of Nightmare Before Christmas, mixing bright holiday colors with quirky, slightly spooky doll charms. Each Christmas necklace is handmade with a longer, sweater-friendly length that lays beautifully over knits and coats. The vintage dolls come with natural marks and tiny imperfections that add charm and help create a nostalgic, collectible feel. Whether you choose the Jack and Sally necklace, or Tombstone style, each piece brings a mix of warmth and weirdness that stands out from typical Christmas jewelry.
These vintage necklaces were designed for shoppers who want something expressive, fun, and a little rebellious during the holiday season. They’re great for winter parties, cozy movie nights, themed photos, or simply elevating an everyday outfit with a bit of character. Each Christmas necklace measures 19.6 inches and includes a 2-inch extender, and custom length is available upon request. This is a limited batch and will not restock once sold, making it a unique seasonal piece. More holiday-themed designs will be added as Christmas approaches.

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.
NOTE
Each piece is 100% handmade in my home studio. From mixing colors to shaping and detailing, every step is done by hand.
You might notice tiny marks, slight variations, or a bit of asymmetry, that’s part of the charm.
No two are exactly the same. It’s not a flaw, it’s what makes each one unique.
My work is 100% original. If you see similar items elsewhere, they’re not made with the same materials, or the same care. JoyGothic is the only official source.
🕯️ For You
Believe this: you can be soft, wild, rebellious, and free however you want.
Own your edges. Stay true.
We’re all fighting to keep our fire alive, breaking through the darkness, dreaming our way to freedom.
And no matter what, we shout it loud and clear:
Femininity is power. Women are always beautiful. Always have been, always will be.
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.
