Bone Wedding Ring

Iconoculture: “With this bone, I thee wed.” Five U.K. couples recently sealed their vows by exchanging rings made from their own bone tissue, grown in the lab from sample cells. Scientists harvested the cells from tiny slivers extracted from the couples’ jawbones, then grew new tissue in bioglass scaffolds that mimic human bone structure. Artists fused the pure white bone with silver to create the unique rings. Beyond being an ultraromantic way to say “I do,” the technique holds great promise as a way to grow new bone material for patients who need replacements.

  1. Oh, that is so beautiful and romantic! I wish I had known this was possible!
    But hey, if you think it’s gross to have part of your wife on you, just wait until you actually let’s you have sex with her!

  2. I like it. But honestly, how expensive is that? That’s got to cost in the tens or hundreds of thousands.
