DEEZ LOVELY BONES

Is this a friend of Iris Schieferstein???

This is known as The Bone Bracelet, the oversized piece is covered in oxidized silver, 24-karat gold, rubies, diamonds and, most noteworthy, made with bones from an OPOSSUM!!!  It turns out Turkish jewelry designer Alp Sagnak was inspired to design this unique piece after a visit to his neighborhood retailer, Evolution, a SoHo shop that sells natural history collectibles — everything from snake vertebrae to butterfly fossils. When Alp came across the Opossum tibia and fibula bones, which he says “in Turkish are unique because they are the only bones with two joints,” he knew he had the opportunity to create something truly special. The Bone Bracelet retails for $10,500.

It seems like recycling dead animals for fashion is huge… Hoof heels, Opossum bones???  Who’s down to sport some OPOSSUM tibia and fibula bones?  Ofcourse… seeing as though these bones are laced with rubies, gold and diamonds… I’m down!
