RCA graduate Greetje van Helmond presents Unsustainable, an unusual title for a surprising series of jewelry products made from sugar. The accessories are part of a project that deals with issues of durability and resource consumption, deliberately using a basic material to create precious, but extremely fragile, objects.
Greetje explains: "in present day life, durable materials are often used for the production of goods that are typically replaced or thrown away quickly. In my work I like to reverse the line of thought by using everyday, basic materials to create products that appear valuable."

I may be old but this is, basically, the way we made rock candy when I was a kid.
How sticky one would get while wearing this "jewelry"?
I'm assuming there's some sort of coating so you wouldn't get too sticky... This is very cool, though. =)
