I think it was Alexander McQueen that got me hooked on skulls. There is just something about them that calls to me in a way that has nothing to do with being morbid, but I’m not sure what it is exactly. But I suppose I will admit they do look pretty cool when perched atop a McQ clutch! Skulls have, however, made their way into many different accessories from a variety of designers. So for all you skull enthusiasts out there, do I ever have the skull accessory for you! Introducing the Ileana Makri Skull 18-Karat White Gold Diamond Studs!

These little earrings are the ultimate piece for the hardcore collector! Cute little skulls and crossbones were formed from 18-karat white gold and encrusted with diamonds. These simple, dainty studs feature bell-backs to fasten to the ear. Expensive, yes… but absolutely gorgeous! And it never hurts to indulge just a little every once in awhile!

Find the Ileana Makri Studs at Net-A-Porter, where they can be purchased for $1,290.
