These new pieces from Vivienne Westwood for 09 are totally stunning. The [bone bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-jewelry-piece) manage to pull off something that could be really morbid with panache. You can get them in both small-boned and big-boned variations. The Bow Skeleton Pendant/Brooch rocks too.

For me, the [skull bracelet and necklace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/faberge-x-beetlejuice-beetlejuice) is especially notable. If you look at it in detail, you can see that the skulls are made from [small delicate flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alhambra-collection) in soft colors such as pink and lilac.
