Claims (55)

1. A method of creating jewelry, comprising the steps of:

providing human body components consisting of deciduous dentition;

non-destructively disinfecting the dentition;

pulverizing the deciduous dentition into smaller dentition particles;

providing a jewelry frame;

mixing the deciduous dentition particles with a bonding agent to form a deciduous dentition matrix paste;

placing the deciduous dentition matrix paste into the frame; and,

wherein the matrix paste solidifies to form the jewelry.

2. The method of creating jewelry of claim 1 , wherein the pulverized dentition contains at least some particles between −2 and −1 on the PHI scale.

3. The method of creating jewelry of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

etching the deciduous dentition with a phosphoric acid material.

4. The method of creating jewelry of claim 1 , wherein the step of disinfecting further comprises bleaching the deciduous dentition.

5. The method of creating jewelry of claim 1 , further comprising the step of:

dying the pulverized deciduous dentition.

6. The method of creating jewelry of claim 1 , further comprising:

wherein the step of pulverizing the deciduous dentition to a particle size large enough to retain the natural appearance and recognition of deciduous dentin.

7. The method of creating jewelry of claim 1 , further comprising:

wherein the step of disinfecting further comprises autoclaving the deciduous dentition.

8. The method of creating jewelry of claim 1 , further comprising:

polishing the solidified jewelry.

9. The method of creating jewelry of claim 1 , further comprising:

bleaching the dentition particles.

10. The method of creating jewelry of claim 1 , wherein in jewelry frame is a hollow metal structure.

11. The method of creating jewelry of claim 1 , further comprising:

locating an attachment in the matrix to provide a means for attaching the jewelry to another jewelry article.

12. A method of creating jewelry, comprising the steps of:

providing human body components consisting of deciduous dentition;

non-destructively disinfecting the dentition;

pulverizing the deciduous dentition into smaller dentition particles;

mixing the deciduous dentition particles with a bonding agent to form a deciduous dentition matrix paste;

placing the deciduous dentition matrix paste into a mold; and,

wherein the matrix paste solidifies to form the jewelry.

13. The method of creating jewelry of claim 12 , further comprising:

locating an attachment in the matrix to provide a means for attaching the jewelry to another jewelry article.

14. The method of creating jewelry of claim 12 , wherein the pulverized dentition contains at least some particles between −2 and −1 on the PHI scale.

dying the pulverized deciduous dentition.

18. The method of creating jewelry of claim 12 , further comprising:

wherein the step of pulverizing the deciduous dentition to a particle size large enough to retain the natural appearance and recognition of deciduous dentin.

19. The method of creating jewelry of claim 12 , further comprising:

wherein the step of disinfecting further comprises autoclaving the deciduous dentition.

20. The method of creating jewelry of claim 12 , further comprising:

polishing the solidified jewelry.

21. The method of creating jewelry of claim 12 , further comprising:

bleaching the dentition particles.

22. A method of creating jewelry, comprising the steps of:

providing human body components consisting of deciduous dentition;

non-destructively disinfecting the dentition;

reducing the deciduous dentition into smaller dentition particles including at least some particles between −2 and −1 on the PHI scale;

mixing the deciduous dentition particles with a bonding agent to form a deciduous dentition matrix paste;

placing the deciduous dentition matrix paste into a frame or mold; and,

wherein the matrix paste solidifies to form the jewelry.
