Teethy necklaces

So this is where the fascination with teeth began. My brief for my metal project was 'Object of desire', however I wanted to take something undesirable; wonky teeth, and make them desirable; a piece of jewellery.

I began by looking at the teeth shapes and got some wisdom teeth of my friends and made some moulds. I was able to recreate the teeth using resin and they actually look scarily realistic!


Here are the three necklaces I made:






And they all have a tooth t-bar fastening. 



Ideally I would have made them in silver, but as it was a short project we didn't have silver to use. However, I do like the colour contrast between the white and the copper.
