In Short – Despite the cheery, casual environment (think retro, fruit-patterned wallpaper, antique dressers, a coffee table and feminist talk radio emanating from the speakers), this Brooklyn boutique is home to deliciously dark jewelry, including delicate yet edgy necklaces, bracelets and charms sporting motifs such as swords, earthworms and vampire teeth. The store also sells an all-natural line of soaps, scrubs and salves in scents that evoke a more genteel era (such as English lavender).
