When did this trend start happening?

And where are the knock-offs, I ask you?



Pave Punk Princess Spike Bracelet on eBay (and I think they meant pavé), for a mere $329.

I'm not going to even try and be blasé here: I think that's pretty damn cute. Rhinestone spiked bracelet! Eeeee! But THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-NINE DOLLARS for it? Oh no, not even.

(I can't find a picture of them now, but I've seen stud earrings that match the bracelet, and those are also ridiculously cute, but insanely pricey.)

So, high-end "fashion" knock-offs of punk/deathrock stuff. I'm not surprised, I just want to know where I can find cone spikes set with rhinestones so I can make my OWN accessories.

$329 and Punk do not belong together. Ever.

That's an insane En Pave' they've got going there and worth every penny. Nice Dream Accessory though!

You're right! It is pretty damn cute!

I kinda hate but kinda love high-end goth punk stuff 'cause I know it'll trickle down eventually. EVERYONE makes Alexander McQueen and Thomas Wylde scarf knock offs now.

I'm waiting for the knock-off of the Fendi heiress's skeleton belt, 'cause $3800 for a belt is more than a little horrifying: http://www.couturelab.com/products/Skeletor_Belt-4335-c12.html

Could you fabricate your own cones with fimo or some other hardening molding clay and stick your own rhinestones (maybe even pink and black ones?) in before they harden? I'm not that knowledgeable about DIY stuff but in my head that would work. In which case you would have an endless supply of rhinestone covered spikes!

Cute bracelet, but I don't think I would pay $329 for it. What about trying to do a DIY project inspired by it?

For my part, I would rather by books for 329 dollars. :-P
