Take a look at the collection

At a conchological fair I bought a piranha jaw, which matched perfectly with a yellow shark toy residing in one of my numerous collection boxes.

I made the first Yellow Jaw Brooch in 2008 as part of a submission for a plastic design competition. At a conchological fair I bought a piranha jaw, which matched perfectly with a yellow shark toy residing in one of my numerous collection boxes.

I bought some more piranha jaws and also a few sharp parrotfish beaks, as well as other bony fish beaks, which are so ugly that I have forgotten the name of the species...
