Charm School

Margaret Sullivan Charms

Newsflash, people.

Your emotions cannot be trusted. Especially during those way-too-frequent times when they tell you it’s perfectly normal to attack the personal property of your miserable ex and the cheating landlord with a two-by-four.

Instead of wearing your feelings on your sleeve, try hanging them from your neck.

Native Texan Margaret Sullivan’s western-inspired silver and gold charms run the entire unpredictable emotional gamut from anger (the Make the World Go Away design) to hatred (a sinister skull with crystal eyes) to love (a sweet heart-shaped amulet). The handcrafted, limited-edition pieces are an ideal way to get your message across — without going for the jugular (or even opening your unreliable mouth).

No two are exactly alike, so don’t be surprised if your one-of-a-kind charm sparks jealously in those who have done you wrong.

Even as they try and deny how damn good you look.

Which is the best revenge of all.
