Etsy seller OctopusMe has metal jewelry made from real octopi octopusses. I’m not sure I want to know how it’s done. Tentacles hanging from your earlobes would be an instant conversation starter. Link -via Dump Trumpet
I think that this is a very interesting and one of a kind piece even though Passerby is right; if you want to honor an animal, leave it alone. I'm sure cutting off the octopus arm would harm it, but thankfully they have seven other arms and possess the ability to regenerate a new one. (:
It seems foolish and wasteful to harm, if not kill a beautiful and intelligent creature to "honor" it, as the website seems to attempt to advertise. If the artist has any respect for her subjects, she'll start working on her sculpting skills and stop either hunting these animals or supporting wasteful and environmentally unsound fish markets. If you respect this animal, you will not purchase this ridiculous, wasteful and hypocritical jewelry to feed your own vanity. If you are wiling to purchase an item like this, you clearly are mistaken in believing that your temporary appearance is worth the pain and suffering and impending endangerment of a creature that belongs to an earth far superior to your singular existence.
