People fashion some crazy things, and human teeth and hair jewelry are the latest materials being used. But Australian Polly van der Glas has some fans — she received the Craft Victoria Fillipo Raphael Fresh! Award for her work. All sterling silver pieces are hand-made in Melbourne and the designer is currently taking donations for teeth, since they're hard to come by. But don't fret, the molars are sterilized and the hair is locally donated or sourced from India or China. Does that put your mind at ease? If you can stomach it, proceed.
I wonder if the artist knows that they are using a long Masonic tradition. Though in the Mason's they use gold and animal teeth. I wouldn't want to copy that sect, that's for sure!
It's a little weird and disgusting, but it's really creative and unusual. My stomach complained, but...yeah, I liked it. The oxidized cast human hair plait earring (6) would be the only one I'd use, and in fact I'm in love with it!
