Each necklace is handmade in Monique’s New Orleans studio, where every element is chosen for its symbolism and style. The bat — a classic gothic motif — spreads its wings above a luminescent purple opal cross that glows in the dark, capturing the supernatural beauty of twilight and moonlight on marble crypts. The bat has an aurora borealis style metallic finish on the parts and chains.The design pays homage to Victorian mourning jewelry, yet its sleek lines and modern materials make it perfect for today’s gothic fashion lovers.
The Gothic Bat Necklace embodies everything that defines Monique Lula’s artistry: a fusion of elegance, mystery, bats, and a touch of the paranormal. Every glow and flicker of the opal reflects her devotion to craftsmanship and her deep connection to New Orleans’ ghostly charm.
