Grenade launcher jewelry
I just interviewed awe-inspiring jewelry designer Jules Kim of Bijules NYC, who is creating far-out gold and silver pieces in the shape of ice picks, grenade launchers and dental retainers. Kim, who has diamond-encrusted teeth, is beloved by MIA and Gwen Stefani and other divas of infinite hotness. She told me how she's just cast a new piece from her recently-deceased aunt's false teeth. Here's what the 27-year-old East Village innovatrix said in our AIM interview:
juleskim(10:03:33 AM): i paid ode to my aunt winnie by casting her false teeth and studding them with gems
juleskim (10:03:33 AM): its ok
juleskim (10:03:38 AM): death is part of life
