If Edgar Allen Poe and Charles Darwin decided to open a boutique together, it would probably look a lot like Gold Bug. Exotic insect specimens are mounted on the walls, a seashell-encrusted bust greets guests at the door, while spooky armies of cast concrete baby dolls by sculptor Leslie Ward guard the shelves. We love the shop’s selection of delicately macabre jewelry—a decapitated cameo pendant, a chain of bones bearing a pocket watch—and its darkly whimsical tableware selection, which boasts everything from coasters inlaid with spider webs to a set of “skull and femur bone” swizzle sticks.
