This jeweller creates unique commemorative necklaces, bracelets and rings - from the TEETH of dead loved ones. Jacqui Williams, 29, is the owner of Grave Metallum Jewellery, and sells handcrafted pieces that incorporate the remains of the dead.

As well as teeth, Jacqui uses hair, ashes and has even been asked to create a necklace from an IUD.

The craftsperson admits she is morbid, and worked as a gardener at a local cemetery before she made human remains jewellery full time.

She said: "I incorporate teeth into anything a client requests and that can be made out of metal.

"I do this work because I want to help people deal with their grief and loss as it's something that is guaranteed for every living thing.

"My most memorable requests I have been asked are using an IUD in a piece of jewellery, in which I did decline due to it being plastic, and turning the bullet casing, from the bullet that a client's grandfather shot himself with into a piece of jewellery."

Each custom piece takes Jacqui between six and eight weeks to create and costs between £190 ($350 AUD) and more than £5,400 ($10,000 AUD).

Jacqui, from Melbourne, Australia, said: "I have always seemed to be drawn to the morbid side of life, even as a child.

"'It definitely wasn't just a phase for me.

"My interest in helping others deal with their grief started when I lost my best friend a few years ago. Grief is always easier to deal with when shared."

She studied for a diploma in jewellery and object design at Melbourne Polytechnic until 2017, but after graduating struggled to find a job within the industry - so decided to create her own.
