Here in Brazil they're not a big trend (that I know)...
I like them, especially the ones crankypants and pucci_mama posted! I've never had one but I'd probably buy those, I quite like them!
I love, love the skull craze, especially as an old school goth. I agree that it can be done cheaply or chicly though. In other words, I like the idea of pairing a skull piece with a conservative or girly outfit. I think if you punk out your whole outfit you're gonna overdo it.

I absolutely agree! I can't stand the all out goth or punk look personally, but i think it would look cute with a girly or quirky/whimsical outfit. I like that one crankypants posted, it's cute! Where can you get it?
I could guess this appeals to the collectors' gene in some? i've loved Tomoko Igarashi's "skulls 'n' pearls" since seeing them featured in Zink - and rather nicely, the accompanying text even provided the designer speaking room, if I remember correctly... the claims laid to the dual nature of her designs were the highlights. ie., skulls are to pearls as trends are to classics...

I have a necklace with a tiny silver skull that has heart-shaped eyes, which is rather adorable and gets me compliments sometimes. I like that, especially since I paid 1,50 € for it. Yaaay.
I like the idea of skulls, but I much prefer to "twist" trends... Hence I would suggest trying a less obvious bat necklace, or maybe a cow skull pendant.
It's all about interpretation.
I have a vivienne westwood skull necklace ... it ahs gems all over it in rainbow colours ... so prittyfull and doesnt look hot topicish due to the rainbowness
I have a plain diamante skull from Vivienne Westwood, but think I'm going to have to investigate the rainbow one - I love the sound of that! I find mine goes with just about anything day or night, if I can't decide what to wear they I wear that and it looks good!
