Wednesday’s Jewelry News of the Weird!10 Mar
Now we know how the Tooth Fairy was able to afford all those quarters!
Poly Van der Glas is an Australian silversmith, who won the Craft Victoria Fillipo Raphael Fresh Award, in 2006. She had a unique vision of utilizing human teeth and hair in making silver jewelry. Undoubtedly, her creative handcrafted pieces of jewelry won her acclaims throughout the world. Many believe that Poly Van der Glas has given the world of recycling a new perspective.
The process is undoubtedly very tedious in which firstly, teeth are collected from around Melbourne and then hair samples are collected from China and India. These are first sterilized and then hand crusted in silver to make earrings and rings. Hair is creatively painted in silver or simply artistically designed in silver chains to look appealing. – http://planetoddity.com
