Species by the Thousands |

You may look sweet, but underneath that candy-coated exterior lurks an inner bad girl—the kind of girl who’s ridden on motorcycles, ripped off the “Do not remove under penalty of law” tags on mattresses with reckless glee, gone to tattoo parlors, and made out with your best friend’s ex in a seedy bar. Erica Bradbury’s Species by the Thousands jewelry line is right up your sugar-and-spice alley with romantic-meets-sinister pieces like fangs hanging from gold chains and hexagrams paired with cameos. Of note are the Short Heart Necklace ($48) and Long Heart Necklace ($68), with customized chains in tarnished brass, gold, or silver and a choice of a hand-painted design on a wooden heart—go sweet and girly with the couple or freaky with the skull and flowers. All of Bradbury’s designs—she also does accessories—are one-of-a-kind or produced in limited quantities, so your devilish side won’t be tempted to slip some Ex-Lax into your roommate’s milk for coming home with YOUR necklace. Available at speciesbythethousands.com and at Catbird, 390 Metropolitan Ave., Williamsburg, 718.388.7688; catbirdnyc.com |
