This is a bizarre story that I just couldn’t resist covering. The lovely Susan Sarandon, 64, had an elegant bracelet custom made for her – out of her children’s baby teeth. She told Popeater that the bracelet was made from her three children’s teeth: Eva Amurri, 25, Jack, 21, and Miles, 18.
Apparently, the tooth fairy doesn’t visit Susan Sarandon’s house. ‘The Lovely Bones’ actress has been stepping out at events wearing a rather unusual bracelet crafted from opals, rubies, gold and — her children’s teeth! Yes, you read that right.
She crafted the personalized bracelet from the pearly whites of daughter Eva Amurri and sons Jack Robbins and Miles Robbins. “A friend of mine designed it,” she told PopEater as she twirled the bracelet around her wrist.
[From Popeater]
Hollybaby reported on this same bracelet last month and claimed that it was made with Eva’s wisdom teeth, but either way teeth are involved and they’re her childrens.
My son recently lost his first two baby teeth, which he was adorably proud of. It was a big moment in our house and he made us promise that the tooth fairy wouldn’t take his teeth. We said we’d work something out with her so he would still get paid but could keep his teeth. I have no idea what I’ll do with those teeth, but we’re keeping them for now. Around that time I was kind of skeeved out to learn that my mother-in-law had saved every one of my husband’s baby teeth. She had a little sack filled with them and it wasn’t pleasant to see them all laid out on the table.
Sarandon’s bracelet is so pretty and you can’t even see that there are teeth in it. Us moms can be a little weird about saving things from our children, and I guess teeth are relatively harmless when compared to the other things kids shed that we could possibly save. I’m thinking fingernails, placenta, boy parts that are sometimes removed at birth. Umbilical cords make sense to me, although I have no idea where my kid’s is. Teeth are just little bones and kids shed them like so many other things from childhood. We just want to hold on to that time somehow, even as our kids give us new things to be so proud and thankful for every day.

It actually looks ok, considering. It’s a nice sentiment. Sweet story, CB.
I made a necklace out of my grandmother’s dentures. She’s still looking for them. I love wearing it when she comes over for spaghetti.
lol….Hi Rita!
@Rita LOL!!!
It’s not so bad…the teefs bracelet.It’s sweet. Andit’s good that it looks more Cartier than Cannibal…
LOL Rita!
LOL RITA..
Im sorry, I love my kid sooo much but I dont want to wear his teeth.
Call me crazy..
I can’t help it. Before I was a mom, I would have thought this to be skeevy and totally gross. Now, I think it’s a sweet and really cool way to have a piece of your kids with you. It’s better than just having some teeth stored away in a box somewhere.
If people start wearing foreskin necklaces, though, I’m out.
Thanks for the idea Susan! Off to find that babyfood jar with my baby teeth…
Rita, that’s too funny. I quit believing in the tooth fairy when I found a tooth in the ashtray the next morning. I didn’t let on though, wanted to keep getting money.
Lol Rita good morning.
She can do no wrong.
I think it is a neat idea. It isn’t like she plucked them out of their heads.
I think it’s kind of neat. I can’t tell if they’re gold plated or not though. Looks like they just might be the teeth with no plating?
LOL Rita!
I think is sounds kind of creepy.
NO.
Kind of icky. But wow! Susan is gorgeous!
At first the story sounds weird but when I saw the bracelet it did not look bad at all. Susan looks awesome
However, on another note, I love my son dearly but teeth memoirs – I think not. I still cringe when I remember those breastfeeding days while he started teething (ouch).
@Quest
“I still cringe when I remember those breastfeeding days while he started teething (ouch)”
I’m with you girl. Have the same memories about my husband.
Well, I can tell those are teeth and yeah, it’s a little skeevy (and I’m a mom and I have all my daughter’s baby teeth in a little satin bag still).
But God, she’s gorgeous and her daughter is, too.
I’m glad I’m not alone. I actually have a sweater made of my children’s hair. Over the years I kept all the hair from haircuts, trims, etc… and when they became older I had the sweater made.
@Rita
LOL
Right now Buffalo Bill is saying “and they bitched about the suit I was making….”
The sentiment is really nice, but, just, NO! A girl at my highschool wore earrings made out of her wisdom teeth (huge clonkers) and that scarred me for the rest of my life (especially since she used to copy what I wore for about a year). Don’t use teeth as jewelry unless you’re Kali. No matter how much gold and rubies you stick with them, it’ll still look horrid.
My dad used to wear a gold chain with our baby teeth attached to it.
It was sooo sweet. After more than 20 years, they fell down…
Nice gesture though.
She’s a cool mom. Her daughter is looking more like her each day.
OK, I *LOVE* my kids. I went through absolute hell just to get the 2 that I have here on this earth, and I have 2 that I can only hold in my heart. But this? Just, no. I got/get enough of my kids’ teeth on my arm during that charming toddler biting phase.
My parents kept my teeth in a jewelry box. I didn’t know this for several years until one day my dad showed them to me. Now, my kid’s teeth are in my jewelry box and I figure if there is ever a missing kid in the neighborhood someone’s going to think I had something to do with it, and many others. I have three kids and it’s a lot of teeth.
I have saved all six of the teeth my daughter has lost so far. I am SERIOUSLY considering a necklace, but a bracelet sounds wonderful too. I love those little teeth. She is our only child and I treasure them! 🙂
Good one Rita! Teeth are gross when they are out of a mouth.
One of my friends felt that way about keeping her kids’ teeth until her husband said, “Are you going to be the lady down the block with 80 children’s teeth in a jar?!” (They have 4 kids!)
I confess to having actually saved a tooth from one of my kids, until it split in two and grossed me out. There’s a reason they fall out when they do. But even as I say this we have a molar on our end table — my oldest child’s LAST baby tooth!
I think it would be weirder if you could look at and immediately tell it was teeth. But it looks like a normal bracelet so I feel like that’s okay. Plus I pretty much love Susan no matter what.
Coming from a family where one cousin had her extremely premature (4 months) baby cremated and carried the ashes around in her purse, this does not strike me as odd at all, and the bracelet is gorgeous.
i am a mom who has kept her daughter’s teeth too (the first 4 and still waiting for the next ones ) , but i have never thought of doing anything with them just keeping them in my jewllery box , it is good to know i am not the only one who did that
LOL @ Quest
Wait, baby teeth are disgusting, but an umbilical cord isn’t?
7.Isabel: “If people start wearing foreskin necklaces, though, I’m out. ”
No, but I think people make wallets out of foreskins. When you need to travel, you just rub it and it expands into a suitcase.
Second generation Prince Humperdink in the house!
Wow, those teeth – good thing the Nazis didn’t think to make pearl substitute necklaces if they had that idea.
gross.
my husband love love loves this woman. can’t wait to show him this story.
At least she isn’t obsessed with placentas like the other hollywood people who are burying their kids’ placentas in their yard. I don’t get that at all.
Didn’t Marilyn Manson’s mother save his foreskin?
So teeth are pretty harmless, and I think it’s a cute idea.
Next we’ll hear of a celebrity who wears wigs made out of their children’s hair.
@ Leticia – Supposedly, by burying the placenta, it gives nutrients to the ground and helps things grow.
Better to bury the placenta than eat it, as I know some women do.
My son is six, and has lost quite a few teeth. I keep them all in a ziplock baggie. Can’t seem to throw them away for some reason…
@BW LMFAO!!
Um what happened to cute pics and saving locks of hair in the baby book.
Sorry but some y’all take it to the extreme.
When my son bit my boob during breastfeeding, the teeth turned into the enemy. I had to wean and give him a bottle.
His teeth is in my jewlry box too.
i don’t have kids but my dogs are getting old and they’ll start losing teeth any day now; they would make a lovely -if stinky- brooch.
I just can’t seem to let go of my 10 year olds teeth. They are kept in a satin bag in the jewelry box as well.
My sister suggested I make a necklace (with my daughter’s teeth) for my daughter for a 13th bday gift. I figure that my daughtter would think it was totally cool or she ‘d run screaming from the house.
Not a good look. Too fetishy.
Toothfairy (I)left $20 under my kids pillow for each tooth, took the tooth….don’t know what happend to the tooth..
My kids just wanted their money and I just wanted to see their eyes glowing when they come to me in the kitchen the next day telling me about all the things they want to buy with that cash.
End of the tooth story.
This makes me sick to carry someone’s teeth,,,why not keeping all the nail and toe cliping too?? Uhmmm!!!
LOL, this is as funny as her politics.
Kid’s tonsils are in a jar over the fireplace.
That bracelet looks great, actually. The teeth look like uncultured pearls, and the gold and gems are really nicely done. I think it’s a good way to deal with the inevitable sentimentality. Also, better than keeping ashes in your house, which a couple of people my mom’s age used to do — seems to me that would make it harder to complete the first stages of grieving. Baby teeth are a healthy memento to keep, and although wearing them is a bit exotic, with enough money just about anything can look tasteful.
hmm. I actually don’t hate it.
I’m sorry but this sounds like a service you’d find featured on Regretsy. The bracelet is hideous, frankly but the sentiment is quite nice.
For full disclosure, I still have my youngest children’s umbilical stumps. The youngest’s isn’t so creepy because we just got home from the hospital (LONG NICU stay) I lost the older children’s in a freak vacuum cleaning accident.
Love Susan Sarandon, but that’s just gross.
I am keeping all of my daughter’s teeth. So far we’re up to four. Each one is in a little envelope she decorated for the tooth fairy with the date she lost it. It’s part of her baby box I plan to give her when she grows up.
@BW – HA! That is hilariously disturbing!!!!!
For some reason I have a necklace made with little polished bits of teeth (they dont resemble teeth – just look like polished white bone)…I’ve had it since I was a teenager and it was a present. No idea why I was given it or whose teeth they are!
I have the 10 of my childrens baby teeth that have fallen out so far , the 13 year old has given me 6, the 9 year old has contributed 4. I am waiting for the rest of them to come out but as i still have a baby tooth in my head at the age of 47 i think i will be waiting a while to add to my collection. The 6 are in a pink satin bag the boys are in a blue one both hidden in the bottom of my jewellery box. My nutcase sister has her daughter’s umbilical cord in her childs baby photo album……. she has scared me since she was born …….
placenta is full of nutrients and assists in rebalancing hormones…it’s a chinese medicine thing…those folks have a very high life expectancy, and…did you know?
only 10% of chinese women excperience severe menopausal symptoms, compared with 75% of western women….
yea, that stuff works.
i saved my son’s placenta and cord-the midwife dehydrated and put the placenta in capsules…i still have some, and we buried some under the apple tree as a symbolic gesture.
Sure, some of you may not like it, but it isn’t harming anyone…
and what else?
it goes in a huge vat of medical waste in some lab, w/thousands of other cords and placenta and who knows what else?
And perhaps they are also using it for testing and stem cell research, w/o my knowledge.
No thanks…the idea of it in some huge vat CREEPS me out far more than knowing where it was disposed of by me personally.
Look, placentas and baby teeth aside,can we comment please for a moment on Susans daughters amazing natural rack? I mean natural in the natural sense, not in the Lilo plastic sense which she tries to pass off as real. Rememner Lilos first public outing when she was a kid and had red hair and was pretty and had that halter neck dress on? That was her new plastic tits first outing. They were all hard and round and hadn’t dropped yet. Any-ho, susans daughter looks amazing in pink.
This whole thread had me LMAO!!!
Rita!!! lol
BW!!! rotfl!!!
And @girl: God, I HATE those freak vaccuum cleaner accidents! lol
The bracelet looks nice and I save teeth too but, can I just say? “Ew”.
I’m considering finger and toenails as a fashion statement, but i don’t know what metal would show them off the best.
I actually agree with Irm on the whole placenta thing. I really wanted to keep mine and have it put in capsules for me too. I’m an Eastern medicine, all-natural health nut. And I believe in all of that, as well as voluntarily being stuck with needles to get your energy flowing in the right direction. BUT, I was sick for two years and all sorts of Western doctors and medicine did nothing for me until I tried what most people would call “crazy”. So, to each their own. As for the tooth bangle, I LOVE it. I saved my baby sister’s wisdom teeth and made them into earrings. My husband doesn’t like it when I wear them any other day than Halloween. But who cares what he thinks…
@dorothy: are you being serious? If not, than LOL. If so, I have to give you kudos. How the hell is that possible? What store do you stroll into with bags of hair, and how do you explain what it is that you want? Hahaha!
“freak vacuum cleaner accident”!!! Love it.
Hmmm….the teeth bracelet thing isn’t really floating my boat, but mamas are strange creatures. I know some of my parenting choices haven’t always been mainstream, but happy kids = happy mom. More power to her.
wow. umm, i don’t think so…
people wear shark tooth necklaces, so a baby-tooth bracelet actually doesn’t sound so creepy in comparison 😉
off topic, i have to say her daughter looks gorgeous with that blonde hair! i dont have a preference for hair color, but her daughter’s dark-hair seemed to highlight her gawk-ward features more.
http:/GiveMeThatSmile.com People have done more bazaar thing with body parts. Working in the dental office, I see two group of people. One group is very fascinated with their teeth and after they get pulled, they want to see them, touch them, and take them home. They keep them as a souvenir. The other group is quit opposite and they don’t want anything to do with it. I bet it reflects in the people attitude toward this bracelet, don’t you think?
