Much like the Victorian era and their obsession with hair jewelry, a new fad has recently started in Australia: accessories made of teeth. Polly van der Glas's new line of jewelry combines sterling silver, hair AND teeth.

Polly van der Glas says the "human teeth are locally donated and sterilised, and human hair is either locally donated or sourced from India and China. Teeth are particularly difficult to come by, so any donations are gratefully accepted." So in honor of Polly, a poem:

On the off chance you get milk teeth

Four little pearls with pink gums beneath.

Tiny presents before there's hair

But normally, wait for the twenty white squares.

Shiny, straight, crooked with gaps.

Eat lots of sugar? then gold little caps.

Around first grade, they will start to fall out

And in their place, adult teeth will sprout.

The very few will get pretty lucky

Not to stereotype but if you live in Kentucky

And most everyone else will need some aid.

Visit the dentist, don't be afraid.

He will prod and poke and might even pull.

But in the end, you'll be beautiful.

Braces, retainers, last a couple of years

Spaces and stains, it all just disappears.

And then on to old age, the final adventure:

To fuss and struggle and mess with your dentures.

Besides using teeth to chew as most people do,

There are others uses that you never knew.

Combine a molar and a silver ring

Or a canine and a gold coated string,

Jewelry and accessories made of the weirdest objects

Its an industry that I hope no one protects.

If you think you are up for it, try to locate

Ms. Polly van der Glas and graciously donate.

But don't be alarmed or have a great fit

When you walk down the street and see someone wearing it.
