I’ve been browsing antique jewelry a lot lately and wonder about this. With jewelry specifically I think about hair, coral, pearls.
Then that extends out to animal skins, bones, human relics, etc.
What makes one thing gross but the other okay?

My only concern for body parts and specimens is/would be: were they ethically sourced? There are laws arround that thankfully.
The issue is (at least here in the states) those laws aren’t retroactive. So museums have tons of body parts of dubious origin
