Gothic Victorian "Wings of the Departed" Goth Skeletal Bat Ribbon Necklace

Anatomy becomes art in “Wings of the Departed.” This handcrafted necklace is a darkly romantic tribute to what once took flight. At its center lies a 1.5-inch round bronze-toned pendant featuring a skeletal bat rendered in exquisite anatomical detail. The sepia-toned image evokes the pages of a 19th-century naturalist’s journal—beautiful, haunting, and precise. It is preserved under a dome of clear glass, like a relic pulled from a forgotten cabinet of curiosities. The pendant hangs from a black ribbon adorned with a thin silver metallic thread—just enough shimmer to mimic moonlight on wings. Adjustable between 16 and 18 inches with a lobster clasp, it rests at the collarbone—elegant, unsettling, and evocative of long-lost secrets. This piece belongs to the collector of oddities, the lover of Victorian mourning art, and those drawn to the beauty in bones.
