Villains have always had better style than heroes. While princesses twirled in pink gowns and glass slippers, their darker counterparts commanded attention in horned headdresses, sweeping black capes, and eyeliner sharp enough to cut. They owned every room they entered. They made evil look fabulous.
This Halloween, channel that unapologetic villain energy. Leave the bagged costumes behind and choose jewelry that carries the spirit of cinema’s most unforgettable female antagonists. Our handcrafted pieces are wearable origin stories. Each piece carries the aura of power, revenge, and glorious bad behavior.
Maleficent: Mistress of All Evil in Deep Purple Majesty
She was the original dark fairy, the one who cursed a baby over a missed invitation. Petty, yes. Iconic, absolutely. Maleficent’s world lived in deep purples and midnight blacks, in sharp angles and sweeping cloaks. Step into her menace with the Arabella Pendant Necklace in Royal Purple, a cascade of niobium shifting from violet to plum, paired with the sparkle of crystals. The Bella Butterfly Beaded Necklace in Ultra Violet adds irony to the dark fairy’s wardrobe, delicate wings worn by a woman who brought eternal sleep. The Dragonfly Dreams Beaded Necklace in Violet Skies channels her otherworldly strength.
Ursula: Poor Unfortunate Souls Wrapped in Deep Sea Drama
Ursula understood the art of presentation. Tentacles became couture. Her palette was ocean purple dissolving into black, streaked with flashes of turquoise and teal like living light in the deep. Channel her aquatic grandeur with the Dragonfly Dreams Pendant Necklace in Turquoise or the Ocean Depths Earrings in Sea Plum. The Delia Earrings in Turquoise/Green shimmer like ocean depths where she conducted her questionable business dealings.
The Evil Queen: Mirror, Mirror, Pure Villainous Elegance
Snow White’s stepmother poisoned with precision. Her look was regal, austere, and lethal: deep purple robes, a high collar, a crown edged in gold. Her spirit lives in the Garden Pansy Pendant Necklace in Vintage Burgundy and the Gala Lariat Necklace in Cranberry. For gold and crimson that recall her crown and poisoned apple, wear the Royal Heart Earrings. These pieces understand what the Evil Queen knew instinctively: elegance is the best revenge.
Cruella lived in extremes. Black and white were not fashion choices but a worldview. She smoked, schemed, and sped through London in a wardrobe that defined 1960s excess. Her chill surfaces in the Riverwind Earrings in Tidal Teal or the Kensington Earrings in Scarlet. Pair silver with silver, or mix metals for sharper effect. These pieces mirror her sharp confidence, made for the villain who goes after what she wants and never apologizes for taking it.
Bellatrix embodied chaos. Wild hair, wild eyes, black lace layered into tattered grandeur. She turned instability into spectacle. Her presence lingers in the Anastasia Earrings in Scarlet with their ethereal, haunted gleam. Or choose the Blooming Elm Necklace in Gold for a statement of twisted sentimentality. Pair with the Stella Starburst Ring for a look that feels volatile and theatrical. The spellbinding artistry is the perfect companion for her unruly energy.
The Wicked Witch perfected branding. Green skin became an emblem of fear. Black robes set the stage for her dominance. Her legacy glows in the Gilded Petra Necklace and the Bella Butterfly Pendant Necklace in Green Flash.These aren’t the pastel greens of spring but jewel-toned shades of mischief and envy. Each piece captures the Witch's theatrical flair with the understanding that sometimes you need to make a dramatic entrance on a broomstick.
Before eco-activists had a name, Poison Ivy turned nature into her weapon. Forest greens, golden yellows, and earthy tones wrapped her in a living palette. That same aura shines in the Healing Elm Leaf Necklace in rainbow hues shifting from green to indigo to amber. Poison Ivy’s allure wasn't just botanical. It was seductive, dangerous, and utterly confident. And she could make photosynthesis look sexy.
Harley Quinn discarded convention. Pink, blue, red, glitter—her palette was mayhem in motion. She proved villainy could be loud, bright, and entirely unpredictable. Her spirit bursts through with the Mardi Earrings in multi gold, the Sun and Moon Pendant in sunrise and the Gloria Cuff Bracelet in gold. Combine them with butterfly pieces in clashing colors for Harley’s signature look of mismatched abundance. Layer freely. Clash boldly. Puddin' would approve. Your therapist might not.
This Halloween, skip the glass slippers. The villains already won the style battle. Whether your mood is regal menace, chaotic energy, or botanical danger, there’s a Holly Yashi piece waiting to sharpen your look.
