A Luxurious Bracelet Made out of Bones

Filed under: Jewelry

The endless supplies of materials you can use for jewelry making is amazing and at times overwhelming if you are a designer. Of course you have your tried & true metals, precious and semi precious stones; but then you have your more unusual materials like computer components, ammunition, and bioblue27. Now add to that list bones. Yes, actual bones.

I never thought I would see the day that jewelry could be made out of bones but here you have it. Designer Alp Sagnak has created the Bone Bracelet ($10,500). It's an over sized cuff made from opossum bones and adorned with oxidized silver, 24 karat gold, rubies and diamonds.

Real Skulls for Halloween

To take any Halloween celebrations to the next level, you'll need to find some really killer decorations. Instead of searching to find natural-looking props at the party store, why not seek out something a bit more realistic? Skulls Unlimited has a bit selection of real ("natural") and cast bones, human and animal, rare and common. A hippopotamus skull ($2,400) would make a big impression and some little vampire bat skulls ($49) would fit the theme. For something really creepy, there is a human skull with bullet wounds in it, but a grab-bag of assorted animal bones could go a long way at a party.
