In memory of that old flame. The Shrunken Ex-husband/boyfriend bracelet.

The creative jewelery is hand carved from bone and tied to other [bone skulls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice) (maybe boozing buddies) with [black crystals, sterling beads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dagger-charm-collection) and pewter toggle clasp. It's 7 1/2 inches long and shipped in a decorative tin.

It's a funky, cute design for year around compliments.

**Implications** - It's not every day that you see a [piece of jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-jewelry-piece) that approaches macabre subject matter in a quirky way, but this bracelet definitely fits that description. You won't be able to cast any dark magic rituals with this accessory, but you can have a lot of fun making your friends jealous instead.
