Whether worn as a dark-academia statement piece over a white shirt or paired with a vintage dress, it brings a unique, edgy gothic elegance to your daily style.
Design Inspiration:
Inspired by the mysterious totems of medieval gothic architecture and the guardian of the night—the bat. In esoteric symbolism, the bat represents rebirth, intuition, and the ability to navigate through darkness. The designer translated this iconic symbol onto the heart-shaped locket using delicate relief carving, accented with geometric stars and vine motifs. The vintage oxidized silver finish paired with the chunky Cuban chain creates the aura of a mysterious artifact from a gothic castle, encouraging the wearer to embrace their unique, independent, and powerful inner self.

Daily Care Tips:
Care for the Patina & Hinge: The vintage oxidized finish is the soul of this piece. Do not vigorously scrub the dark recessed areas with a silver polishing cloth to preserve the black-silver contrast. Additionally, the locket hinge is delicate; open and close it gently.
Avoid Chemicals & Water: Remove the necklace before bathing, swimming, or applying perfumes and sunscreens to prevent chemical damage to the vintage finish.
Gentle Cleaning: Wipe gently with a dry soft cloth for daily dust. For dust in the filigree gaps or inside the locket, gently brush with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and immediately pat dry.
Tangle-Free Storage: Due to the chunky chain and 3D locket, store it laid flat in a separate velvet pouch to prevent tangling with fine chains or scratching other jewelry.
