One of the milestones of growing up is losing your baby teeth and gaining adult ones. Many parents make this time magical by fostering a belief in the Tooth Fairy. This magical creature comes at night and takes the teeth, leaving behind some cash. The parent is left to decide what the heck to do with the teeth.
Many parents feel bad simply for throwing away a former part of their child. They end up hanging on to them. One clever UK jeweler has the perfect solution: You can have them make them into a custom piece.
Custom Teeth Jewelery
The company’s name is Dreadful Pigeon. It is located in Yorkshire, England. You can even send in your puppy’s or kitten’s teeth.
Every Wednesday, custom jewelry slots open up. You can make the teeth into a ring, necklace, pendant, or earnings. These pieces are currently only available in sterling silver but the creator is working on gold offerings.

The website lists specific instructions for how to send the teeth over. You need to clean the tooth before sending it over. The tooth will go through a whitening procedure as part of the jewelry creation process. You should wrap the tooth in something to protect it, such as bubble wrap, and not use any preservative liquids. Double check with the post office as you might need to put a declaration certificate on the outside of your package if you're sending teeth from outside the UK.
