The perfect accessories.


Who Wouldn't want one ( or more) of these beauties on their fingers..er... ???

Teeth Rings by Polly van der Glas


Adorn  your fingers with four human teeth – complete with cavities and amalgam fillings – or go a little more subtle with three incisors or a single statement-making molar.

These bizarre handmade creations by Australian artist Polly van der Glas are made with donated, sterilized teeth set onto silver rings.

The artist (who also makes jewelry with human hair) says, “When attached to the body, we praise hair and teeth that adhere to the rules. They are key sites where body beauty is defined. Yet when they are shed, their meaning and value undergoes a dramatic transformation.
