# Creepy Dental Jewelry The Human Tooth Ring is a Delightfully Odd Fashion Statement By Gil Cohen | Published 2012-12-24 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/human-tooth-ring References: [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/listing/76836242/real-human-tooth-tension-set-silver-ring) [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop) seller Lucyguy sells many strange and unusual things such as this Human Tooth Ring that you would have a hard time finding anywhere else. Featuring a [real human tooth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temporary-oral-tattoos), a molar to be exact, tension set within a cast silver ring, this piece of jewelry is not for those who want something sparkly. This is for the kind of person who wants to make a [jaw-dropping statement with their accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiyu). With the roots still intact and very visible, this item is a highly bizarre and slightly creepy piece. Even with this creepy aspect, wearing someone's tooth is not that different from wearing a piece of elephant tusk, and the Human Tooth Ring is as close as most people will ever get to real ivory. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Unconventional Jewelry:** The trend of unusual jewelry pieces, such as the Human Tooth Ring, allows for creative and attention-grabbing fashion statements. - **Body Modification Fashion:** The growing trend of incorporating unconventional body parts or materials in fashion accessories, like using human teeth in jewelry, presents opportunities for unique self-expression and visual impact. - **Sustainable Materials in Fashion:** The use of repurposed or ethically sourced materials, like using teeth instead of ivory, aligns with the trend towards sustainable and responsible fashion choices. ### Where This Applies - **Artisan Jewelry:** The artisan jewelry industry can explore opportunities to create one-of-a-kind, quirky pieces that appeal to those seeking unconventional fashion accessories, such as the Human Tooth Ring. - **Body Modification:** The body modification industry can offer unique and personalized options, like incorporating real teeth into jewelry, for individuals wanting to express their individuality through unconventional means. - **Ethical Fashion:** The ethical fashion industry can capitalize on the use of sustainable materials, like teeth instead of ivory, to cater to eco-conscious consumers who appreciate unconventional yet responsible fashion choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Coffin-Shaped Engagement Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffin-shaped-engagement-rings.md) - [Handcrafted Jewelry Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird.md) - [Jewelry-Revealing Rock Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mschf-4.md) - [Confectionery-Inspired Ring Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brilliant-earth.md) - [Healthcare-Inspired Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v-coterie.md) - [Brick Toy-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-gogo.md) - [High-End Organic Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/s-carter-designs.md) - [Industrial Fidget-Friendly Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/titanium-mechanical-ring.md) - [Dynamic Bold Statement Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chiyu.md)
