Silversmith and offbeat artist Polly van der Glas creates jewelry made from human teeth, hair, and sterling silver. Aside from rings, she also makes necklaces, earrings, purses and more.
All works are handmade in Melbourne, with sterling silver, human hair and human teeth. Human teeth are locally donated and sterilised, and human hair is either locally donated or sourced from India and China.
Teeth are particularly difficult to come by, so any donations are gratefully accepted.

DECADES ago I glued bell caps to my recently removed wisdom teeth and kept them on a keychain. i THINK I still have them somewhere...
I dunno if it's still in force, but Florida was floating the idea of not allowing folks/kids to take extracted teeth with them due to 'medical waste' issues.
GROSS!
The bezel mounts look pretty ugly, maybe they're not made from fine silver as they should be.
fine silver is different from strlng silver.
and Another Jake, is there still HS shop class anymore?
She said "Those are your teeth, honey."
I looked down and they were twisted, still bloody and one of them had been sheared in half to make removal easier.
I wanted to throw up.
The last thing I could imagine would be making it into jewellery.
