My thoughts:

    Use tuning peg heads for beads. Incorporate mother-of-pearl (and
    maybe pearls) inlay material and/or  Tor-Tis (faux tortoise shell)
    pickguard material. Use bone saddle that is drilled to hold the
    strings like spacers. 

    A necklace of  free-floating "frets" - that would keep the strings 
    off the shirt/blouse. They tend to leave marks. A central pendant
    shaped like the guitar head in question. 

    My favorite luthier suppliers online are: Allparts  
    http://www.allparts.com/ Luthiers Merchantile International  
    http://www.lmii.com 

    Nifty project, good luck!
