More bizarre (though not so squicky as dung or squid bits), companies exist nowadays that convert cremated remains into gems to set in jewelry. (I wrote an erotic ghost story involving that custom, "Heart Diamond.") It wouldn't be surprising if some alien species made ornaments out of body parts of deceased relatives.Margaret Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08293021955480708191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-23249848619336450572016-04-11T11:25:18.571-04:002016-04-11T11:25:18.571-04:00The Victorians commonly had jewelry made with the ...The Victorians commonly had jewelry made with the hair of dead loved ones.

The biggest trick is to learn to spot the particular shine the enamel produces. When I was at the coast frequently, I could spot a tiny tooth while walking fast with my Golden. A harder trick was to get her to stop before we passed it. <br /><br />Even the tiny teeth are heavy so they will be uncovered by the shallow waves. You stand with your back to the sun and watch the water wash up around your feet. <br /><br />I could go on, but I'm already boring myself.
