The Blue Moon bead collection has come out with a new line called "Noir" that features gothy pieces. I picked up large black metal link chain for my mourning outfit. Perfect for mourning jewelry and a pocket watch chain! I can pretend it's antique vulcanite link chain. Collection also contains pendants large and small such as crosses and skulls
