You know what I like about October? Halloween. And you know what I like about Halloween? It gives me an excuse to repost this gif starring my hockey mask and chainsaw earrings<\/a>. (The gif was created by the fine folks at Spring<\/a>, the Instagram-like shopping app.)<\/p>\n

The combination of a hockey mask and a chainsaw has come to be a recognizable reference to movie serial killers, even though it muddles together two different horror flicks. As I wrote in 2014<\/a> when I introduced the earrings, the character of Jason Voorhees in the Friday the 13th<\/em> movies wore a hockey mask but wielded a machete. The chainsaw belongs to Leatherface of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series<\/em>. Leatherface does wear masks, but his are made of human skin. But the Jason\/Leatherface blend of killer accessories dates back at least to 1993, when The Simpsons<\/em> used it in its “Cape Feare<\/a>” episode.<\/p>\n

If you’re not into slasher movies, I’ve got skull jewelry (for every budget) that’s appropriate for Halloween and the rest of the year too. I certainly wear it all year round! I’m putting a few pieces on sale for the holiday. Check them out now, because these prices will be available for a limited time.<\/p>\n

My 18K gold Juana skull pieces were inspired by Juana la Loca, a princess of Spain born in the 15th century. Read all about her here<\/a>. This 18K yellow gold “peekaboo” Juana skull locket is accented with black diamonds.<\/p>\n
