Back in the summer when we interviewed Amelia Arsenic in our June/July 2011 Issue, she was already brewing up this collection. The long-awaited Taxidermia collection from A for Arsenic is finally out, described as, “a modern re-imagining of Victorian mourning jewellery and attire, a graphic world of dark Victoriana, memento mori, and macabre taxidermy.” The Black Chained Antler Necklace is a great statement necklace that can fit many different styles from Victorian and steampunk to latex and fetish to modern and hipster. And it’s from a collection that is beautifully executed with a look book featuring stunning styling and well designed features such as the gift box accompanying every necklace and the hand numbered and signed bee swing tag.

The Black Chained Antler Necklace is available online for £48 at www.aisforarsenic.com.
