We thought breast milk jewelry was a strange jewelry trend but this one might be a solid competitor.

According to Etsy’s

Jackie Kaufman, owner of the Rock My World shop on Etsy, said she’s had about 100 orders so far. She had the idea after a woman who had saved all her children’s baby teeth asked her to make a piece of custom jewelry.

“Once I posted the finished product, I started getting many requests for us to create different pieces of jewelry using the teeth,” she said. “Most people had no idea that this was possible.”

Molds of your child’s teeth come in sterling silver or gold.

“It’s going to be a conversation maker,” says Lucy Luckayanko. “I will be able to tell people. It will be unique. It will be sort of my unique factor.

Eye jewelry may not be for everyone, but this isn’t the first time it’s been done either. The procedure has been done hundreds of times in Europe and in Los Angeles, but never before in New York City. Until now.

Lucy is getting a new procedure at Park Avenue Laser Vision to implant a small platinum heart into her eye. It’s called Safesight jewelry.

“To me this is just another way to advance the science of ophthalmology,” says Dr. Emil Chynn, the medical director of Park Avenue Laser Vision.

The procedure costs about $3,000. And though it may sound scary, Dr. Chynn says he believes it’s actually pretty safe.

What about you? Is jewelry implanted into your eye going a bit too far or just a cool, new trend?

What is it about floral headbands that makes you want to skip through daisies and sing “songs or yore? Whatever it is, jewelry made of flowers have been around a long time, with no signs of withering in the future.

Alexis Bittar brings his club history with him when he designs jewelry, reckoning back to a Depeche Mode 80’s era but with a more delicate (and creatively bold) touch.

Currently, Boston is the only one of his ten stores to stock the Fine collection ($295—$16,000), complete with dainty settings (tennis bracelets abound) and precious stones. We [Racked] took a moment to chat with Bittar about taxidermy (a signature element of his stores), the case of antiques for sale which he curated himself, and 1980s club scene influences.

Is the former 80s club kid in you represented in your now very elegant designs?

I was going to clubs at 13, and I think it was pre-MTV, there were no videos, no online. There was a real excitement to dress up. People would literally be shocked. At an early age I appreciated the impact of fashion and individuality, and I try to drive that sense of individuality into the pieces now. Middle of the road is kind of like why do it? I still try to be sellable but there’s a life force you want to drive through it.
