This is from the first collection of wearable works by Polly van der Glas. A new collection will be available in a few weeks on the artist’s website.

Polly was silversmith qualified in 2006 and won the Craft Victoria Fillipo Raphael Fresh! Award upon graduation. All works are handmade, with sterling silver, human hair and human teeth. Human teeth are locally donated and sterilized, and human hair is either locally donated or sourced from India and China.

Retail prices ranges from $180 for a pair of cast sterling silver human tooth stud earrings, or a cast sterling silver plaited human hair ring, to $750 for a sterling silver knuckle ring set with four human teeth.
