Australian jewellery designer Polly van der Glas has released her latest collection, which makes my teeth ache. Her latest pieces feature human teeth. Yes, you’re reading correctly. Taking old teeth from donations in Australia from friends and family who have had teeth extracted from normal dental procedures, Van Der Glas sterilizes each tooth, then sets them into rings, pendents and necklaces. It makes interesting viewing, but I think I’ll leave it at that. Some strangers’ tooth on my hand just isn’t right!

a little too reminisce of World War II Natzi creations (sorry, but for those who know the past there are negative connotations).

THIS IS creepy shit. The teeth of other people is not artistic consumption. Itt’s not fair to ask other people to donate their teeth when you clearly wouldn’t do the same. You could just get tooth molds and be done with collecting ppl’s teeth Gross.
