Seneca said, “What were once vices are the fashion of the day.” Well, we all have our bad habits, and now we can consider them chic. [Jewelry line Cast of Vices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird) has taken some of our infamously favorite substances—like cigarettes, prescription pills, and cocaine—and preserved these human obsessions as [sterling silver or gold charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/styled-by-katseye).

A substantive view on substance, Cast of Vices critically comments further on our carnal consumptions with [fly charms and cockroach pins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/charm-collection) as symbols of decomposition and deterioration due to addiction. Would you wear your bad habit so close to your heart?
