Story from Jam Press (Tooth Rings Celebrity)Pictured: Cait Robertson.'Send me your TEETH and I'll make you a jewel much prettier than a diamond – I did a child's tooth ring for Amanda Holden'A jewellery designer is transforming teeth into sparkling rings – and she says they are "prettier" than diamond bands, having even made a keepsake for Amanda Holden with a child's tooth.Cait Robertson works with very unusual materials to create adornments.From ashes to dried breastmilk, sand, a piece of meaningful fabric, umbilical cords and even a kidney stone – the 39-year-old can turn pretty much any item into a beautiful keepsake.Her latest material of choice? Teeth.The mum-of-two sprinkles the tiny fragments in resin to design stones that resemble opals and gemstones – and a custom ring can cost into the thousands.Her unique pieces even draw the attention of celebs.Speaking of her experience working with Amanda Holden, Cait told http://Creatorzine.com: "Amanda and her team were so lovely to work with!"Everyone was incredibly kind, and the whole experience was wonderful."It was such a treat to hear from her and make her keepsake!"I actually think teeth jewellery is prettier and more meaningful than diamonds."Diamonds are beautiful, of course, but keepsakes tell your story."Most people would never guess there was a tooth inside unless you told them!"That personal meaning is what makes it so special to me."I even polled my followers once and asked whether they would rather have a diamond ring or a keepsake ring, and around 98% chose the keepsake ring."It is incredibly meaningful to me but it is also just really fun."There is also a funny family connection for me."My dad, brother, and sister-in-law are all dentists, so this feels like my own slightly unconventional way of carrying on the family legacy!"Prices vary depending on the design, metal and stones selected.Cait's sterling silver and gold vermeil pieces are the most accessible and start at around 30, while the solid gold, platinum and diamond pieces are priced higher.The founder of Milk Couture Co., who hails from Franklin, Tennessee, US, first started working with teeth after a customer asked if they could send some in.She shared the result on Instagram, where it quickly racked up 24 million views.She said: "Believe it or not, I usually only need one or two."For many of our designs, I carefully break the teeth down into smaller pieces and incorporate them."We also offer some styles where the tooth can remain whole."They are placed into the setting using jeweler's grade resin along with our own proprietary techniques and enhancements."The finished result is a beautiful, unique keepsake stone."I know some people hear 'tooth jewellery' and immediately think it sounds a little strange, and that is part of the fun too."The business, which started with breastmilk gems, came about when Cait was searching for a breastmilk ring for herself.She said: "I was looking for a breastmilk ring for myself after my son weaned but I couldn't find anything that really felt like my style."I decided to start teaching myself the art of keepsake jewellery."After my two babies went to bed at night, I would head out to my garage and experiment."I had so much fun learning, creating, and figuring it all out as I went."What started as a little passion project quickly turned into the most fun and fulfilling 'job' I could have ever dreamed of."Today, we create keepsakes using things like baby teeth, cremation ashes, dried bouquet flowers, hair, fur, and really almost any meaningful material."I even made a piece using a friend's kidney stone as a joke and somehow it turned out absolutely beautiful."For Cait, the craft is also deeply personal.She added: "As a mom myself, especially now that my six-year-old has started losing his first teeth, I understand that feeling of wanting to hold onto these tiny pieces of childhood."I have also personally experienced the loss of a baby, so supporting other mothers who have experienced miscarriage and infant loss is especially close to my heart."At the heart of the business, that is really what keepsakes are about for me."They are about giving people a way to hold onto something that mattered deeply to them, whether it represents motherhood, childhood, a loved one, or a season of life they never want to forget."The company donates a portion of its profits to Gathering Hope, a non-profit organisation to support grieving families.ENDSEDITOR'S NOTE: Exclusive Licence: An exclusive licence has been obtained directly from the verified copyright holder.

Story from Jam Press (Cheap Thailand Move)Pictured: Mac with his girlfriend.'I left UK for island life where groceries cost just Ł38 a week – I can't imagine coming home'A Brit who moved to Thailand has revealed how he spends just Ł37.50 a week on his food shop and Ł580 to rent a three-bedroom house.Mac Haycock made the move three years ago after travelling across America, Australia and Europe.The 31-year-old originally planned to spend several months travelling around Southeast Asia while making YouTube videos and working in bars, but quickly fell in love with Thailand and decided to stay.Now, the content creator lives in a three-bedroom house near the centre of Pattaya with his girlfriend and their two cats, as well as owning a car and motorbike.Mac pays around Ł580 a month for his home, while his regular household bills, including water and electricity, come to around Ł25.He says he can feed himself for around Ł150 a month and claims that even with nights out, transport and other expenses, his money goes far further than in the UK."The difference is night and day," Mac, from Wolverhampton, told creatorzine.com."The cost of living in the UK has become extremely high, especially when you start adding up all your monthly bills."You don't have the same constant stream of additional expenses that you get in the UK."In the UK, you've got things like car insurance, road tax, MOTs, National Insurance, expensive phone contracts, internet and all the other bills that keep adding up."You could easily be paying around Ł100 a month if you want a new iPhone with a decent data plan."In Thailand, something comparable can be around Ł20 a month."If I wanted to live somewhere similar, close to the centre of a major city back in the UK, I'd be paying more than three times what I'm paying in rent, and once you add all the bills on top, it could easily be four times as much."You simply get much more for your money here."Mac has since opened his own bar, Deluzion, in Pattaya, and says he earns more than he ever did in the UK.He says his income has allowed him to build a lifestyle he believes would have been difficult to achieve back home.Mac said: "You can get a completely different lifestyle for the same amount of money."If you're spending the same amount of money that you'd spend on rent, food, bills and going out in the UK, you'd struggle to get anywhere near the same lifestyle."Here, that same money can give you a nice home, good food, regular nights out, transport and a much more comfortable lifestyle."His typical day now looks very different from the nine-to-five routine he had in Britain, where he previously managed bars and restaurants.Mac usually wakes up when he wants, cooks breakfast and then spends the day either filming or editing content.His work can involve walking around Pattaya, visiting the beach and bars, interviewing people about nightlife or speaking to people considering moving to Thailand.He also carries out consultations with people wanting to relocate to the country and deals with sponsorships and emails.In the evenings, he often heads to his bar to meet visitors and socialise with customers.He then drives home to watch television, eat and spend time with his girlfriend and their cats.Mac said: "The thing I love most about living in Thailand is probably the feeling of freedom and the opportunities that are available here."I've been able to build a life here that I don't think would have been nearly as straightforward for me to build back home."It's the freedom to actually pursue opportunities and build the kind of life and business that you want."I don't see myself moving back to England unless things change significantly."Until then, I wouldn't even dream of coming back to live there."Despite the success he's found in Thailand, Mac warns others not to assume moving abroad and becoming a social media creator is an easy route to financial freedom.He recommends securing a reliable online income before making the move.He said: "My biggest piece of advice would be to get an online job first."Get yourself a job that you can do remotely from anywhere, ideally one that gives you a decent income based on UK or international salaries, and then use that income to fund your lifestyle in Thailand."I wouldn't recommend coming here and planning to find a job once you arrive."There are so many people trying to do it now that it has become extremely competitive."If you want to make content as a hobby, that's absolutely fine."But if you're planning to make an actual business out of it and use content creation to fund your life in Thailand, you need to be prepared to work at it for years."Don't come here thinking you'll make a few TikToks and suddenly have an income."Build your income first, get yourself financially secure, and then move here."Mac plans to continue travelling around Thailand and the rest of the world with his girlfriend while creating content.Mac said: "I'm incredibly grateful to be in the position I'm in today."I never dreamed that I'd be able to achieve what I've achieved, or that I'd end up living this kind of life in Thailand."I'm genuinely grateful for all of it, and I'm really excited to see what the future holds."ENDSEDITOR'S NOTE: Exclusive Licence: An exclusive licence has been obtained directly from the
