Dark and Lovely

Rella Jewelry

Spike: Happy birthday, Dru.

Drusilla: You shouldn’t have.

Spike: You turn 657 just once.

Drusilla: Must you constantly remind me that I’m 104 years older than you? Hand over my present. Unwraps gift. Sweet A-negative! A Victorian-inspired necklace by Rella! I’ve wanted one forever.

Spike: I would have flown you to meet designer Cindy Borjas in person, but she lives in Miami. Too much sunshine.

Drusilla: Pity, since we both love goth, la Belle Époque, Marlene Dietrich, and vintage jewelry. Her signature ceramic cameos are inspired by the delicate, prim ladies of the early 1900s.

Spike: But they’re actually pin-up bondage girls. Naughty.

Drusilla: Indeed. Add a little velvet, lace, and beading, and you’ve got one sexy accessory. Where’s my little black dress? I just got the urge to paint the town red.

Spike: Wonderful. Let’s go grab a bite.
