THE CHICEST SHARK TEETH, BYCHARI

Shark tooth jewelry is everywhere—in all shapes, sizes and designs—and I am not mad about it. It's ironic how much I'm into the trend, because like too many people I have a very illogical fear of the species. However, having their pearly whites hang around my neck doesn't elicit scenes from JAWS, and I consider that a step in the right direction. 

BYCHARI's collection of necklaces and bracelets featuring tiny vibrant-colored stones and mini vermeil charms certainly stand out from the sea of chic chompers. The sterling silver charms are casts from real shark teeth, plated in 14K gold and strung onto 30" necklaces. 

You can find the pink, red and yellow pieces at Guava Shop in Haleiwa. Blue, green and black varieties are at BYCHARI.com.
