Horrifically stylish pins, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc., made with vintage crime covers from the mysterious tomes of yesteryear!

Dastardly Dustjacket Jewelry is made in the fabulously crime-written United States of America, we don't use criminals from other countries to do our dirty work! We handle our loot with care from the beginning of the secret process to its sinister end. Each delicate and oft times rare dustjacket is reproduced to perfection. Chilling charms are selected to add that perfect macabre touch and Austrian crystals highlight the preciousness of each image.

The images are from Bloody Hand-Made Inc.'s personal collection, first editions from bookseller Jamie McCoy of McCoy Rare Books, Ian Fraser of Finefinds Books and other nefarious sources. As each pin is essentially one of a kind, although the image may be the same, there may be slight differences in charms or crystals.

They are crafted for longevity if you take some care with your pin Don't dip it into the prussic acid tea you spiked for Professor Hiltbottom, or wear it out on a dark and stormy cliched night, or throw it into your purse to be manhandled by the snub-nosed 38 you have secreted there.

Show the world your love of mysteries without needing to resort to hitting people over the head with The Hubin Crime Fiction, Volumes One and Two.

Wear some Dastardly Dustjacket Jewelry instead!
