It’s a golden necklace, adorned with a golden toilet roll pendant. The necklace, dubbed “the deluxe toilet roll chain,” retails for $75. It was created by German jeweler Jonathan Johnson. The Hamburg-based jeweler wanted to tap into something common yet rare, as Forbes detailed:
It’s selling on his website for $75, and each necklace is made from gold-plated sterling silver. From each sale, 20% goes to a local homeless nonprofit called Arzt Mobil Hamburg.
“When the coronacrisis hit, you could see on TV how people jumped on toilet paper,” said Johnson.
“The diamond, the most desirable object of desire, and a symbol of wealth, was suddenly replaced by toilet paper.”
The goal is to create an object that will represent our current crisis for future generations looking back on 2020.
“The thought that, in the future, this crisis will be looked back on in a few generations, this could be an enchanting side effect,” he said.
