Forget the goth kids in the corner, hot topic ain't got shit on this season's new wave of "goth" jewelry and accessories. This type of jewelry used to have the stigma of being creepy, weird, and goth, but recently chains, skulls, and religious symbolism is taking on a whole new audience.. high fashion. It started with the skull.. a raven skull, then moved to other bones, organs, and animal paraphernalia. Indie jewelry designers, like Pamela Love, Digby & Iona, and Chrishabana do it best, and each piece is specially done. Also coming in, chains. Body chains and chain webbed bracelets are making their way through the editorials as well, like my personal favorite, Bliss Lau.. whom miss wasson ripped off for her Luv Low line. A[r]mor does amazing body chains as well. Here are some of my favorite pieces: 
Bliss Lau
Riot Bracelet $378
A[r]mor
Toro Body Chain $95
Clover
Web Bracelet $50
Digby & Iona
Raccoon Skull with Gold Teeth $140Pamela Love
[From Left] Talon Cuff $1150
Deer Tooth Necklace
These pieces, and more like them, are available at stores such as Oaknyc.com, Bonadrag.com, and sometimes the designer's personal website has an online shop. Don't have a big enough credit limit for most of the these ? Well happy day, because some, such as the clover bracelet and body chains, are easily made at home. Grab some old necklaces, a pare of pliers, and you're good to go ! eBay.com and even more so, Etsy.com are also great sources for jewelry similar to this style, many are handmade and quite a bit cheaper. Pieces like these are meant to be worn with simple clothing, best worn with baggy/ oversized simple tanks that show off the jewelry and how they lay on your body. Wear with caution.
