Reid Peppard’s Disturbing Taxidermy Jewellery

Just this morning a co-worker mentioned how dapperly I was. Normally I consider that as hate speech upon my person – I am trying hard for the subversive gangster vibe and dapper totally throws that out of whack. However, if I were to be a neatly dressed young man as suggested, I would need something to accentuate the look, and what better than the off-colour fashion accessories from designer Reid Peppard.

Peppard is a British taxidermist (and vegetarian) who has launched a line of taxidermy jewellery. From guinea pig hair combs to mouse neck chains, to rat head cufflinks, Peppard’s creations may be a tad off-colour and morbid, but could be surprisingly versatile when paired with boho or beach-inspired look. I have no idea what I just said but here are some images of Peppard’s jewellery.

Would you be comfortable wearing something like this? Let us know.

Yea I thought that bit was pretty funny. Here’s what she says about sourcing the raw materials:

Being a vegetarian myself, all animals used in my work are either roadkill, caught by my cat, from a local City Farm, or “snake food” (bought frozen from a pet shop, with the remainders fed to my cat Panasonic).

I would definitely wear the mouse rosette. Definitely. But I would worry how well a dead animal would wear – I mean, if you fork out for this unusual jewellery, you don’t want it to get all lacklustre on you…
