Real Growing Jewelry by Hafsteinn Juliusson

Feature Designer

There are many jewelry lovers who are also great gardening fans and may appreciate this feature designer. Hafsteinn Juliusson's real Growing Jewelry collection is one where wearers will have to water and trim to keep the pieces in tip top shape! He describes his creations as "..a clash between jewelry and gardening; couture and organism."



Juliusson is an Icelandic jewelry artisan makes his rings with real Icelandic moss. What is amazing is his Growing Jewelry store at Reykjavik Art Museum. His rings are mounted on sand beds and treated to growing lamps much like what you might find in your local gardening centre. The cleverest thing this artisan did with his store design is to style it like a greenhouse! Real class.

That's fun! Very cool ideas, also the store interior! Love it, because I'm also a real gardening fan.

Do you think people really buy it - and wear it??
This one is a bit out there for me. :)
