Shep Rose is finding some humor in a recent medical issue.
The Southern Charm cast member revealed that he had multiple teeth removed on his Instagram page on March 12, which sparked a joke about the shark tooth necklace he gave ex-girlfriend Sienna Evans on Season 10.
"Shared with y'all yesterday about my dental problem," he wrote in the caption of his post, which featured a few selfies of him at the dentist and a graphic photo of the teeth he had taken out. "Had a sore tooth and discovered that a bottom back tooth was cracked and had to be removed. So I got my step cousin and dentist extraordinaire [Jay Barganier] to perform the extraction procedure."
He continued, "It was a tough one. We found that a wisdom tooth also needed to get out of there. And the roots of the cracked one really didn’t want to budge. Hence the many pieces ... Thinking of getting [Foxy Fossils] to make me a Shep's Tooth Necklace..."
As Southern Charm fans will remember, Shep commissioned Foxy Fossils to create a megalodon tooth necklace for the former Miss Bahamas winner. (He also once gifted a necklace from the same place to ex-girlfriend Taylor Ann Green.) Shep and Sienna broke up the same night that he gifted her the unique piece.
After Shep shared his post, it didn't take long for comments to start rolling in about the possibility of turning his own extracted teeth into a necklace.
One said that the new necklace would definitely "beat" the shark tooth one.
"Would be pretty strange right now? Or should I look into it?" Shep responded, before referring to the idea as "grotesque" in another comment.
Another fan told Shep not to "gift" the necklace to anyone. "Good advice," Shep responded. "At least not for a while."
A follower wondered how Shep even obtained his teeth. "I asked for them!" he replied. "Shep's tooth necklace."
Shep Rose reveals why he always gives shark tooth necklaces
After giving Sienna and Taylor necklaces from the same store, Shep explained why he gravitates toward that particular style of jewelry.
"The girl that sells them is a good friend of mine, she's from the Bahamas, and it's a shark tooth necklace," he said on the Southern Charm After Show. "It doesn't mean anything."
He also said that he tends to get a "good deal" on them.
