The pair charges $10 for earrings or necklaces made out of the bugs' lacquered carcasses.

The Victorians kept lockets of hair and miniature portraits painted with ground hair and pigment to secure the memory of a lost love. In much the same way, I secure my memories through photographic images rendered in lines of my own hair, the physical remnants. I do not reproduce events, but quiet minutes, the mundane, the domestic, the ordinary moments.

Biojewellry is an attempt at merging jewelry design with science. The rings are made from bone cells sampled from your wisdom teeth. The project is already successful but they're looking for more volunteer couples. Basically you and your significant other go in, donate your bone samples, where they will be cultivated in a lab to form different shapes. In time, they hope to create combinations of bone with metals like gold and platinum to elevate the design. When the ring is complete, you wear rings made from each other's cells - tethering you two together for life. The rings are lighter and much stronger than you think. It is real bone after all. Although kinda creepy, its fascinating where science (even when mad) can lead us.
