Ain't these jewellery lovely?

Necklance

Cufflinks


Isn't it lovely?

Guess what? They're made from this:

Would you like one?

No they're not coffee beans. They are Moose droppings or dunk, shit, feces, manure or to sound nicer, excrement.

Inside these Moose droppings are usually fibres of chew up barks so its quite solid. The collected droppings are painted with a clear coat of paint before it is made into jewellery so don't worry, you're not touching shit. Lol.

At Talkeetna, Alaska, the people make a big deal out of these droppings. They even celebrate these Moose shit by holding an annual mid July Moose Dropping Festival.
