Someone on Facebook is making jewelry out of human teeth. I am a collector of novel items, but this is something that disgusts me in a way. Opinions on this fashion trend?

I'm actually surprised as most dentists won't let you keep your own teeth!

Where's that person getting all those teeth?

There's more money in replacing teeth than in repairing and maintaining them.

I have both of the 3rd molars that I had pulled many years ago. They're in my jewelry box. I've always wondered what to do with them....now I know. I can accessorize them with my daughter's baby teeth that I also saved.
Remember when the jewelry made from artificial eyes was the rage? Back in the 1980's if I remember correctly. I bought a ring set with one of those at a craft show but a young relative sweet-talked me into giving it to her. I loved that ring.

I would put "tooth" jewelry in the same category as face/body piercings.....disgusting!

I thought this was going to be a thread about how some people drill their teeth and stick diamonds in them. <ugh>

Those examples in the OP, do not appeal to me, either,
like most of the posters above.
And I wonder, how would they clean those rings?!!
Do they brush them, regularly?
Would they bring a toothbrush along with them, whenever they go out, wearing them, and brush them, out in public too?
So people will know they have clean teeth?

Wasn't there a tribe that made necklaces out of human teeth? I Think they got them from fallen enemies????

That's a hard no! 
Someone wants the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth! It’s certainly not for me, whereas a shark’s tooth necklace is more common. It’s even possible to have some of the cremated ashes of a loved one compressed and made into an artificial diamond. Then you can say and prove that Aunt Rose was a real gem…
