i actually kinda like this, and I like a lot of the other biology themed jewelry in her shop. Not for me exactly, but i could see some subversive biologist chick rocking it. i don’t think it’s worth $200, but at least it took an obvious degree of skill & craftsmanship to make.

#6 “Some worms reproduce sexually. Hermaphroditism, the condition in which a single individual possesses both male and female reproductive parts, is common in many groups of worms. Asexual reproduction, whereby new individuals develop from the body cells of another, also occurs in some worms.” – Wikipedia; so no, your not making it up.
#15, yes, but: “Despite having both sets of organs, worms do need another worm to mate with. Worms join together with their heads facing in opposite directions and sperm is passed from one worm to another and stored in sacs”.
Everyone having fun learning about worm sex?? Regretsy is not only fun but educational too, LOL!! ;P
I love it and a lot of things in her shop. It is different but it is beautiful and beautifully crafted. Not made with her feet for sure. Seriously there is a lot of crap very very badly made on etsy!
I know it is 2 worms fucking…because that is what she says it is. BUT, if she had of said it was 2 pieces of hugging shit, I would have believed that too. I am very gullible.
I like nature a whole lot. Really. I do. But this is just unbridled creepiness to me. Is it cool? Yeah, it sort of IS… but I think you have to have a certain “style” to wear it. This could, however, be a great gift for the gender-neutral fisherperson in one’s life.
I would totes wear this. I mean, not for $200, but I love the biology geekery that goes on at Etsy. This would be a great conversation piece at parties.
I vividly recall my 10th grade bio teacher demonstrating with her arms how Suzy and Bobby worm would mate. Actually, it’s the only thing I recall from her class. And it looked like this necklace.
ooh #18 you made me laugh. Hellen you’ve made this week so educational
the work it’s self in her shop is good… im no fan though. and this necklace is rather unappetizing to me. maybe someone really into earth worms will love it. good luck to the seller
Sure, she’s technically gifted. But can you get past the earthworm action? I’m not really grossed out by worms minding their biz in the garden, but copulating on my neck? Eeew.
I AM THE ARTIST WHO MADE THIS PIECE. Its true, this is “worms fucking,” but I don’t think that makes it less interesting or wearable. Worms are not asexual they are hermaphrodites that use partners in copulating. I make jewelry about science and chose jewelry rather than other types of art because I think that it is the most intimate art form, which especially suits this necklace. I stand behind this piece and all of my work and invite your direct feedback.

Oh for fuck’s sake, once and for all, there are 12 phyla of worms and thousands of species, EARTHworms (Anelidia) are hermaphrodites, other worms reproduce sexually or asexually, and none of this has to do fuck all with equality in relationships that I can figure out. Worms don’t have relationships.
November 12, 2009 at 11:40 am
I don’t know…I can see the value of it somewhere in there. But why jewelry? fucking worms, for God’s sake.
November 12, 2009 at 11:40 am
lol @ worms fucking. but i would still wear this necklace.
November 12, 2009 at 11:41 am
“Nobody likes me,
Everybody hates me,
I’m gonna eat, no wait, wear some, fucking worms..”

Ooh…there’s a ring to match!
I will give it to this one…there is some talent here.

November 12, 2009 at 11:44 am
not to be professor Killjoy here, but aren’t worms Asexual and can reproduce on their own? am i making that up?
November 12, 2009 at 11:44 am
i feel like the worms should be hanging horizontally though.
November 12, 2009 at 11:45 am
I love in the tags: worms, sex
I’m sure that is searched often in the same item.
November 12, 2009 at 11:45 am
I TOTALLY get the representation of the beauty if equality in relationships, you know, between two hermaphrodites.
November 12, 2009 at 11:45 am
*of equality*
November 12, 2009 at 11:46 am
I agree it is well made, but I still would not wear hermaphroditic fucking worms around my neck!
November 12, 2009 at 11:47 am
There are two of them!
November 12, 2009 at 11:48 am
#6 tigerflight : Worms are hermaphroditic but still need a partner to reproduce.

Given the relative positions of their clitella, I’d say they were engaged in 69 rather than intercourse.
November 12, 2009 at 11:57 am
#16, I think I love you, know if you me how to oxidize a fruit bat, I’m yours.

November 12, 2009 at 12:07 pm
Regretsy IS amazing! Where else can you see worms reproducing, a “cure” for cancer, and the kitchen of your dreams, all on the same page?

Please start tagging these explicit pieces “NSFW.” My coworkers think I’m a super freak for checking out pics of flies and worms screwing.

If you find worms screwing in your earings, you’ll soon have compost.
November 12, 2009 at 12:47 pm
I read that in a fortune cookie.

Uhhhh… #43 Don’t you mean get their head out of the compost pile?

November 12, 2009 at 3:35 pm
#4- Worm ring? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
November 12, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Yeah, she has skill, it’s just an odd piece. Not like some of the others..
November 12, 2009 at 3:51 pm
Yes, the form of this is actually appealing. If you don’t look too closely and realize it’s worms.
November 12, 2009 at 3:52 pm
I would totes wear this. I mean, not for $200, but I love the biology geekery that goes on at Etsy. This would be a great conversation piece at parties.
November 12, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Love it, and a lot of her other work. Biology geek weirdness FTW.
M Moyle, no, worms do not reproduce asexually. They are hermaphrodites, but they do not self-fertilise.
November 12, 2009 at 4:43 pm
sad fact: i’d totally wear this.
November 12, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Wouldn’t wear it, but I like it a lot. There’s a nice fish ring, too: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31969351

November 12, 2009 at 5:51 pm
Hell yeah – nothing says equality in relationship to me more than fornicating fishbait.
November 12, 2009 at 6:00 pm
“Hey lisa, did you see how big his worm is??”
And they say size doesn’t matter
November 12, 2009 at 6:04 pm

November 13, 2009 at 10:27 am
@pendlet – Were you also taught worm abstinence? LMAO
November 14, 2009 at 3:07 pm
That’s nice, but I’d really prefer some garden slugs in a 69.
November 14, 2009 at 8:52 pm
See, now, if it was leopard slugs doin’ it, I would buy it. Slug sex is the most beautiful thing on the whole damn planet. Worms? Meh.
November 14, 2009 at 8:56 pm
I slipped on a giant slug in Vancouver once! They are called banana slugs for a reason ;P
