Ossuary Octagon vs Fauna: Which Dark Side Pendant Wins?

Quick answer

Choose Ossuary Octagon if you want a bold, geometric statement with a black cubic zirconia and bone detailing; choose Fauna if you prefer a softer teardrop silhouette with smoky quartz and stag skulls. Both are Dark Side pendants, but they project different energies.

Stone and silhouette: geometry vs. organic form

The most immediate difference is the stone shape. Ossuary Octagon features a 14x10mm octagon-cut Midnight Black Cubic Zirconia, which gives it a sharp, architectural look. Fauna, by contrast, centers on an 8x6mm Smoky Quartz teardrop, a smaller, more fluid shape that feels softer and more mysterious.

That size gap matters: the octagon stone is noticeably larger, so Ossuary Octagon reads as a bigger, more dominant piece. Fauna is more delicate and might suit everyday wear or layered styling better.

Setting details: bones vs. stag skulls

Ossuary Octagon is built around a throne of 22 bones that hold the stone between split shoulders, with extra bone detailing. It’s a dense, intricate setting that reinforces the macabre theme. Fauna uses highly detailed stag skulls to cage its teardrop stone, a warning of what’s to come if the beast is released. Both are richly detailed, but the bone motif in Ossuary feels more architectural and the stag skulls in Fauna more narrative.

Presence and styling: when each piece works best

Because of its larger stone and elaborate bone setting, Ossuary Octagon is a true statement piece—it will draw attention and works well as the focal point of an outfit. Fauna’s smaller teardrop and stag skull cage make it more versatile; it can be worn alone for a subtle gothic touch or layered with other Dark Side pieces.

Consider your wardrobe: if you often wear bold, structural clothing, the octagon’s geometry will complement it. If you prefer flowy or layered looks, Fauna’s organic shape may integrate more naturally.

Key trade-offs

• Stone size and impact: Ossuary Octagon’s 14x10mm stone is significantly larger than Fauna’s 8x6mm, making it a more prominent piece. If you want maximum presence, go with Ossuary.
• Motif and detailing: Ossuary uses a bone throne (22 bones) with extra bone detailing; Fauna uses stag skulls as a cage. Choose the motif that resonates with your personal symbolism.
• Versatility: Fauna’s smaller size and teardrop shape make it easier to layer and wear daily; Ossuary is a statement piece. For everyday wear, Fauna is more adaptable.
