How romantic :eyes:



When Goths fall in love, they share eyeliner, sharpen each other's teeth with an emery board and do it in the crawlspace. When the relationship gets serious, when the patchouli-sweet stink of domesticity settles, and the scratch scars have faded into spidery stretchmarks, they exchange Biojewelry.
This is romance - you undergo a tiny little biopsy to create a sample of bone cells for propagation, some kindly scientists grow a mass of bone tissue in the lab, then turn it into a beautiful ring. Bone - engraved and terrifying. It's the kind of sick stunt only a couple of art students could pull off. Tobie Kerridge and Nikki Stott developed the idea at the Royal College of Art, and now, with funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, they're ready to put the jewellery into production. Fancy slipping your best girl the bone? They're looking for couples bored by cubic zirconias who are willing to participate in the whole Flintstoney bone-harvesting bonanza and it could be you... Email info@biojewelry.co.uk for the chance to wear the future on your finger. This, this is romance.

They'll probably severe and cremate a finger, then use the ashes to make a stone to set into the bone jewelry. Or maybe they'll just wear the finger on chain around their neck.

I have a friend who carries a vile of ashes of a dear friend with her. I don't think that's weird though....

But then again I have her dreadlocks sitting in a box so...

Nevermind.
