  • Bats Bracelet

    Embrace the magic of the night with my Bats Bracelet, a handmade creation that captures the soft enchantment of moonlit skies. Five silver bat charms flutter gracefully around your wrist, each one highly detailed and full of personality.

    Together, they create the feeling of a tiny, mystical night sky you can wear anywhere. At the heart of the bracelet rests a glow-in-the-dark orb symbolizing the moon. When the lights dim, this softly glowing centerpiece illuminates the bats, making them appear as though they’re soaring through twilight.

    Bats Bracelet is available here in my Glowies Store

    Designed and handmade by me, Monique Lula, in New Orleans, this piece is infused with the Gothic charm and nighttime magic that inspire everything I create. I absolutely adore bats—their mystery, elegance, and quiet beauty—and this bracelet celebrates all the wonder they bring to the nocturnal world. Every detail is crafted with care, intention, and my signature love for magical, wearable art.

    Wearing this bracelet feels like carrying a little bit of moonlight with you wherever you go. It’s perfect for everyday outfits, spooky-season looks, or anyone who loves bats as much as I do. Thank you so much for looking! I truly enjoy making these twilight-inspired treasures, and I hope this one brings a touch of nocturnal wonder to your day.

    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.
