Design student Anna Schwamborn has created a range of jewellery made with the hair and cremated ashes of a dead loved ones.
The series comprises a rosary, necklace and a watch chain tear catcher.
The following text is from Schwamborn:
Mourning Objects
Wearable body pieces including human material. The collection of objects contains post-mortem memorial pieces which include aspects of a deceased corpse, namely hair and cremated ashes. Human remains act as an important medium of remembering a passed away loved one and are some of the longest lasting and most individual natural materials. Besides pure hair being used, cremated human ashes are mixed with black bone china, the world´s highest class porcelain. The objects are supposed to be worn close to the body of the mourner symbolizing a lasting physical connection between two individuals even after death.
This is a wonderful collection , I respect the idea and intention of the whole collection :)
