Kerry Howley, an art student at Middlesex University, put together a jewelry collection made from human hair. In reference to how people think about hair, she's entitled it "Attraction/Aversion". Howley writes:
The necklaces are made of human hair, a material we are familiar with and take pride in. However once off of the body it becomes an innate source of aversion. I wanted to see if I could make discarded hair attractive again.

At first I thought this was going to be something rather ghoulish but it's rather nicely carried off. I'm still trying to understand why people think a hair necklace isd gross when there are women gluing human hair extensions to their head daily and no-one seems to comment on that

Very popular as mourning jewelry in the 19th century.
