Browsing through the Etsy shot theBEAline, you will find all different kinds of beautifully-wrought, religious-inspired jewelry, but I find that the Crown of Thorns Jewelry series stands out the most.
Cast from white bronze, the collection includes an actual crown of delicately intertwined metal branches with thorns protruding at various angles, creating a dangerous-looking head adornment. There is also a bracelet version as well as hoop earrings with sterling silver posts that add a touch of intrigue and religious imagery to your outfit without overdoing it. The headpiece is certainly the star of the collection and the horns face outwards, allowing the piece to sit comfortably on your head without piercing you.
The Crown of Thorns Jewelry collection is handmade to order.
