This spine-tingling accessory will have people doing double-takes all night long, especially because it actually looks like some medieval sutures. Created by [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop) seller Kerri McAlprin, the Halloween Zombie Stitch Necklace is essentially a choker that uses a clear stretch cord to better create the illusion that those are real stitches on the wearer's neck. A short length of chain at the clasp allows the necklace to be adjustable so as to fit around just about anyone's neck. Each piece is made by hand without the use of molds, making each one a slightly unique piece.
