Adventures in weird artist merch: Necklaces made out of used chewing gum

When you’re a fan of an artist, it’s nice to have an interesting piece of merch that you can show off to your friends. British musician Yungblud is happy to oblige with some necklaces made from used chewing gum.

Yungblud teamed up with Gum 5 and jewelry artist Greg Yunah to create a limited series of…these.

That’s a piece of gum–chewed by Yungblud himself–encased in plastic and surrounded by a couple diamonds. Yungblud chewed the gum before a each performance of a tour of American record stores. And yes, each one comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Yes, proceeds go to charity.
