The Rocket Scientist: So, what do you want for Christmas?
Katie: A sterling silver brooch cast from a frog skeleton.
The Rocket Scientist: Really?
Katie: Yep.
The Rocket Scientist: Cool.
And that, duckies, is why I love him.
Of course, neither of us can afford said skeleton brooch, but it doesn’t stop me from looking and occasionally reaching out to pet my computer screen. Meet Elizabeth Knight’s jewelry:
Frog Body Skeleton Brooch
Mink Jaw Necklace
Rattlesnake Jaw Earrings
Gah, how amazing are those earrings? As someone who used to work with a lot of bones, the level of detail is incredible. Oh well, maybe I’ll try training one of the frogs from our living collection to just sit on my shirt. It worked for the cockroaches…
What about a bracelet made from snake vertebrae? Or octopus tentacle earrings?
Yes, please.
Oh my gosh, those things are amazing! I have a fascination w dead things and this jewelry fits in just perfectly. Hmmm…now scheming about ways to acquire some.
Okay, I think this is the most unique thing I’ve ever seen! Very cool! Haha, and I love your transcript of the conversation!
You know I look for dead animal jewelery now. Okay, not dead animal, but metal cast stuff.
Um, awesome, awesome, awesome! I love them all.
Oh, I was gonna ask if you’d seen that octopus jewelry! I love the entire shop, especially the rings, especially this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/61440627/orange-sapphire-tentacle-ring
If I wore rings I’d wear that one in a heartbeat! Love it.
