Some may think the Le Knockout collection from Kim Kovel strange and even disgusting; I think it's absolutely precious. Taking your child's baby teeth (or even your own, if you still have them) and casting it in gold to preserve it is definitely not the strangest commemorative act out there, that's for sure.
Kovel crafted the very first Le Knockout piece from her own son's teeth. Although, of course, she didn't sell that one but wore it herself.
Available in various necklace, bracelet and earring forms, the Le Knockout collection has something for every nostalgic mother (or father).
