Australian silversmith Polly van der Glas is beginning to get a name for her rather unusual jewelry.

Van der Glas shuns precious stones for human teeth and for some of her other products, hair. The hair and teeth used in her creations are sourced locally; the teeth are sterilized before being embedded in earrings, rings and necklaces.

Prices on asking.

    I’m thinking it’s a gross thing but unique. Wearing other’s teeth.
