Baby Tooth Jewelry – It’s the Next Big Thing

When my son was young, the Tooth Fairy would visit him when he lost baby teeth and put money under his pillow. Like many parents, I was then faced with the question, “What do I do with his teeth?” For a long time I kept them in my jewelry box (creepy, I know), but eventually I ended up throwing them out because seriously… they’re teeth. Apparently I wasn’t aware of the next big thing that would be coming to light – baby tooth jewelry.

Etsy has a whole section on baby teeth jewelry, with those little grinders cast in gold or silver. You might decide that a tooth necklace is your thing, or perhaps you have a penchant for a broach or earrings. Never mind that gorgeous Tiffany necklace you’ve been hoping for, you clearly need to be wearing teeth on your person.

Items start at around $20 and go up from there. And if you’re looking for the perfect all-around gift, tooth jewelry goes great with your own vial of toenail clippings!

Would you buy baby tooth jewelry? Would you sell your child’s teeth as jewelry?
