A woman has found her “niche” in the jewellery market – making pieces using human bones, semen, umbilical cords, pubic hair and breastmilk.
Amanda Booth has been doing this for years and doesn’t use gloves while she crafts a range of bizarre pieces.
But despite the squeamish nature of her work, business is booming.

“I think because the services I offer are so unique and customisable, that is what makes everything so popular,” the 35-year-old, from Ontario, Canada, told What’s The Jam.
“We are a judgment-free and safe space for clients, so even if they have materials that we haven’t worked with before I usually try to find a way to make it work.”
Those materials can be pretty much anything – with Amanda having worked with toenails, vaginal fluid, and even a dead person’s final tear captured on a tissue.
Recent highlights include a necklace made using a piece of human rib bone, a ring made with pubic hair, and ‘pearls’ made using semen.
For one couple, she created a set including a ring, several earrings and a bracelet using a “three in one” mixture of their blood and ejaculate.

Amanda said: “I have worked with breastmilk, ashes, teeth, fur, hair, dried flowers, herbs, cloth, a Kleenex that had someone’s last tear before they passed, a toenail, semen, vaginal fluid, blood from a miscarriage, blood, menstrual blood, a piece of someone’s rib bone that they had surgically removed… and I’m probably forgetting some!”
The jewellery maker has previously made headlines thanks to her speciality, working with semen to create “jizzy” pieces.
She charges £43 ($57) for the process of turning the semen from fluid to powder and then £26 ($35) per pendant.

She documents her unique work on TikTok, where she has nearly 350,000 followers and often goes viral.
A viewer commented on one video: “No gloves is brave.”
“What is HAPPENING,” another user wondered.
Someone else said: “New fear unlocked: Buying someone’s jizzy jewellery at a thrift shop.”
“The fact that you are touching this with your BARE HANDS,” another person pointed out.
Another user added: “Who is ordering this?”
Amanda said of the reaction her work gets online: “Responses are always a mixed bag.
“Followers love some things I do but not everything is their cup of tea.
“But when people find one of my social platforms shock is usually the first thing [they feel]!”
