1. Angelyques Trinkets
Josie's store in Montreal, Canada sells "whimsical and geeky jewelry and accessories." She's open to custom cosplay orders, too. There are lovely things here - skull cameo brooches, tiny tophats, rhinestone skull earrings, crowns and scepters, some steampunk jewelry pieces, keychains, and a couple of really cool stained glass masks.
It's hard to pick my favorite item from all the crowns here, but I suppose if my arm is twisted I'll select this Sanguine red crown.

3. Criduchat Jewelry
(Take a second and look up what Criduchat means!) This shop is based in Lodi, California. The jewelry here is very unusual - for example, here's a cruelty-free real mouse fetus cameo pendant. The rest of the jewelry here includes scarab beetles, teeth, jawbones, mandibles and the like.

4. Dark Elegance Designs
Though this Scotland-based shop sells other jewelry, it's known mostly for gorgeous gothic chokers. Their chokers are categorized by styles including "Sinistra," "Immortal," "Nightfall," and "Lucretia."
My favorite is the Black Onyx choker.

There are bats, ghosts, and pumpkins. http://www.etsy.com/shop/fuzzonme Whoah, the gowns here are incredibly unique and sort of, well, gory! (For example, this Blood Stained and Spattered Bride gown). There's a zombie prom queen gown, a Victorian ghost bride, a Bride of Frankenstein satin wedding gown, and even a "Road Kill" gown. If I had to pick just one favorite, I suppose it is the Victorian ghost bride! https://www.etsy.com/shop/GraveyardShift13 Graveyard Shift Costumes on Facebook Bespoke accessories from Lincoln, England. The headdresses here are stunning - many would be perfect for a gothic wedding. My favorite is this black glitter rose headband. https://www.etsy.com/shop/livfreecreations Creations by Liv Free, on Facebook As you can imagine, I've seen quite a lot of gothic, fantasy and Halloween masks in my time upon this planet. Here's a shop that actually has distinctive, unusual masks that impress me. These leather masks are handcrafted in Chicago, Illinois. Many feature spikes. While I would be too creeped out to wear this, my favorite mask here is this spider mask. https://www.etsy.com/shop/MetamorphosesMasks Here are some really intriguing, intricate paper cuttings. They depict horror topics such as Dracula and Frankenstein's monster, as well as the Hellraiser Lament configuration puzzle box. The most stunning things here though are the Dracula's Castle, hand cut out of paper, and the paper Addams Family House, hand cut out of paper. There's also the Bates Motel Psycho house, set in a shadow box. Incredible! https://www.etsy.com/shop/themoonlightmuse Myckel Yantz sells sugar skull art and pop culture art from this shop based in Oklahoma. Is your favorite thing here this Maleficent sugar skull art print? https://www.etsy.com/shop/MYantz How fitting that this shop happened to end up #13 on my alphabetical list! Glendale, California is the home of the "Deadly Bears." There are also some Edward Gorey goodies, a cute bat coin purse, jewelry and key chains, and hair bows. Don't miss the amazing Batpacks that this shop is known for. https://www.etsy.com/shop/Th1rte3nsCloset This Athens, Greece shop specializes in altering old porcelain, or creating new porcelain with dark themes. There are dinner plates, soup bowls, mugs and teacups with gorgeous Alice in Wonderland, sugar skull, skeleton, and Edgar Allan Poe themes. The most delightful thing to me here is this set of four stacking Alice in Wonderland espresso cups. https://www.etsy.com/shop/MoreThanPorcelain Here's another shop with handmade dark dinnerware. This one is based in Stamford, Connecticut. The plates feature skulls and nautical themes that might make them suitable for steampunk uses. There are just a very few plates here. https://www.etsy.com/shop/PoisonedPorcelain This Rhode Island shop sells handmade tutus, many of them suitable for goth needs. There are also goodies such as skeleton hands hair clips, hair falls, and boot covers. There are also several bridal tutus that are gorgeous, including this purple one. https://www.etsy.com/shop/SistersOfTheMoon Sisters of the Moon on Facebook Empress Eccentric (Rachel) sells her cute dark art dolls from Cornwall, England.

I can't imagine how much work goes into making these! Most stuff here is not the right color scheme to be considered goth, but there are several lovely dark items here as well. For example, here's the Lizzie tatted lace cuff. https://www.etsy.com/shop/TataniaRosa The Thanatos Archive is a longstanding website of postmortem, funeral and memorial photography. They're located not far from me in Woodinville, Washington. Here's their Etsy store where you can buy morbid original photographs and antique photograph albums.

I am most tempted by the Wicked Queen cape here. https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheWishmastersCapes The Wishmaster's Capes and Costumes, on Facebook --Copyright 2014 Carrie Carolin
