Whenever I run across an Etsy shop with the word "curiosities" in it, it automatically captures my attention. I guess that's because I am very curios by nature, as most writers are. Recently I came across a little shop called Elegant Curiosities by Laila Tas-Verseput, and this shop has definitely stolen my heart. They feature two of my all time favorite things. The Phantom of the Opera and Titanic. No, I'm not talking about the Leonardo DiCaprio movie (though Leo is pretty yummy-LOL). I mean the real cruise ship, and the real people who died there. I have been drawn to this tragic event all my life, and I also have a phobia of water, which sometimes makes me wonder if I wasn't of those third class passengers who went down on to the ship in another lifetime. If so, I can reconnect with that past life with the beautiful titanic lockets, which contain within them an actual relic from the ship. You aren't going to find something as unique as this anywhere else.
That are lots of other items that suite my eclectic style available at Elegant Curiosities as well. The Victorian style Edgar Allen Poe necklaces are amazing. He has always been one of my favorite authors. Plus there are lots of pieces that would be fitting for my Gothic characters in Phantom. These are just a few of the items I love.
But of course, my absolute favorite design is still the Phantom of the Opera pieces. There are actually nine different Phantom designs available at Elegant Curiosities, including bracelets, earrings, chokers, necklaces and more. All of them feature the mask and rose from Andrew Lloyd Weber's musical on either silver of bronze tone chains and backings. Some styles are simple, and some are more elaborate, but they all capture an old world charm worthy of the Phantom.
