Scoot along, spikes 'n' chains—the newest trend on the jewelry terrain happens to be one of the oldest. Ancient Chinese empresses would wear perfumed pouches to keep evil spirits at bay, and Medieval princesses would stick cloves and sweet-smelling herbs in their necklaces to hide that fact that they hadn't bathed in years. We're not sure if these pouches can help you ward off any evil spirits or sicknesses—or replace showering, at that—but they're an unexpected accessory that brings a bit of that mystical charm to your everyday outfit.
