Not to debunk the maker, stuff like this has a niche fanbase, and creativity is unlimited in electronic parts. But I used to make circuit board earrings with tiny chips, resistors etc... made from old circuitboard with the etchings gleaming under the green clearcoat. In making them I had to seal the unit in more clearcoat to keep the lead solder from contacting the skin, and seal the fiberglass edge.
Around 1999 I made ones like pictured, but with googley eyes glued on to make 'Y-2-K Computer Bugs'.
