Can one be quintessentially feminine, dress in lace, and wear items emblazoned with skulls, snakes, wolves or daggers?
I am a lover of pink, chiffon, and floral prints but find myself increasingly drawn to these dangerous images in accessories, jewelry, and shoes. Little by little, my love for all things tough, particularly the Alexander McQueen knuckle box clutch (the 3-D detail is divine and a worthy splurge!) has developed into some serious web stalking.
These somewhat scary symbols are subtle and sensual when they are transformed into small statement pieces of jewelry or a belt buckle. So why not pick up an unexpected, dangerous accessory? These items come in a wide range of prices from nOir jewelry with many pieces under $100 to vintage pieces like the 18k gold ruby ring (stunning detail!) – there is something for everyone!
Here are a few favorites.
Slithering snake cuff, Rachel Roy, $42
Alexander McQueen Swarovski crystal and butterfly ring, Zappos, $280
Oxidized silver spine ring, Shaun Leane, £155
Daggers Hoop earrings by nOir Jewelry
Oh how I adore McQueen (please buy those shoes!)
I have a dagger bangle from Noir that I love, but forget to wear – it’s hidden away in my jewelry drawer. Thanks for the nudge to pull it out! 🙂
i do! sort of. i guess i wouldn’t classify it as “dangerous”, but i have a ring in the shape of a lizard that i absolutely adore. and i’m in love with all skull jewelry. love the edginess and rock it brings to a look.
the alexander mcqueen skull and butterflies ring is my fave!
Wow-I want to order some! My mom is obsessed with skulls (“nice skulls, not mean ones” as she says)-this would be perrrrrfect!
I would never wear any of these things… they just don`t match my style. However they are so much fun and beyond gorgeous!

Awesome jewelry! I love the Isabella Wolf Fang Earrings! No unfortunately I do not have dangerous jewelry, but it looks like I should get some!
you had me at skulls. i’m obsessed with skulls and snakes when it comes to jewelry. but that mcqueen purse is freaking unbelievable.

I love that clutch! If only I had an extra $2K lying around . . . I have a Betsy Johnson skull and dagger necklace that I love – Betsy is the epitome of feminine clothes, so if she is dabbling in the girly/tough arena, I think that means all of us can!
Oh my goodness, those pieces are amazing! I so want to get a few:) Happy Tuesday, darling
Kisses
Those are all fierce and I love it!

i love the clutch… very cool!
That clutch is amazing, and it absolutely feminine. Quite the financial plunge for something you probably can’t even fit your iphone into however…
Chic on the Cheap

A McQueen knuckle duster clutch will forever be on my lust list!
