Halloween jewels are a proud tradition here at Diamonds in the Library! I’ve always been a huge fan of the magical – in literature and in life – and Halloween is my very favorite holiday.
This year makes the 8th annual Halloween jewels post here on DitL. Not too shabby, eh?
No more tricks! Let’s get to the treats.
Halloween jewels so good you’ll scream.
You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t believe in the magic of jewels. But some jewels are just a little bit extra magical, wouldn’t you say?
Earrings by Alison Lou.
How spookily adorable is this Halloween-perfect ear stack by Alisou Lou?? It makes me want to buy every one of these earrings and then rush out and get more piercings.
If that’s not enough for you…the enamel ghostie glows in the dark!!! See a video here.
When I was younger, I was obsessed with Halloween earrings from Claire’s. Tragically, my ears have become more sensitive over time and I can no longer wear any of those, but these Alison Lou earrings give me that same happy feeling.
Necklaces by Anna Ruth Henriques.
I thought that what I loved about spiderwebs was their clean, even geometry, but this organic-feeling and gloriously off kilter spider web from Anna Ruth Henriques totally floats my boat. I think if you saw this gem-strewn pendant on someone on the street, you’d register it first as just a beautiful design and then maybe recognize it as web after a minute or two.
I also love the asymmetry of the gemstones and the mix of colors. Deliciously organic and fully magical. I picked this photo mostly for the web, but that itsy bitsy spider up above is fantastic, too.

Here is my buddy @Pinkpirahnah rocking a wonderfully witchy necklace stack in a recent IG photo. @Pinkpirahnah is a fellow jewelry lover and a collector with a knack for layering and a fantastic eye. I love all the individual components of this look but what really blows me away is the combined overall effect.
If you were wondering how to rock Halloween jewels in daily life, just follow @Pinkpirahnah‘s example.
Necklace by Polly Wales.
Polly Wales makes some of the most incredible skull pieces I’ve ever seen a contemporary jeweler create. Her signature style involves gemstones that are cast directly into the gold of her designs, rather than set.
The effect is unique, organic, and utterly striking. This lush gold skull looks like something that grew, instead of something that was carefully made. It’s eerie and unforgettable.
Vintage charm from Kate Gold Jewelry.
This tiny gold cauldron charm from Kate Gold Jewelry is so cute I can hardly stand to look at it! Those little legs and carefully shaped handle. It’s perfect.
I believe that this irresistible vintage charm sold almost immediately after she posted it, so try not to fall in love too hard.
This new collection from Sofia Zakia is why Medusa’s been on my mind. I’ve been seeing sneak peeks of the Medusa designs on the 
Isn’t she gorgeous?
I don’t know how 
How gorgeous are these two new snake rings?
This beauty is the Anthony Lent bespoke twin serpent ring with a pink Mahenge garnet and diamonds in 18k yellow gold. Look at that texture, the warm, soulful contrast of garnet, gold and diamond! I could stare at this all day.
If the garnet ring was too subtle for you…how about this one? Â Look at the drama of this piece: can you feel the energy of those two intertwined serpents? It’s called the “Fighting Vipers” ring, but I’m not convinced that the passion between these two snakes is adversarial.
