the 'growing jewelry' collection

we recently discovered the work of icelandic designer hafsteinn juliusson, who has created
the 'growing jewelry' collection. combining both jewelry and gardening, the collection is a series
of hand rings that contains real icelandic moss. wearers need to take care of their jewelry by
frequently watering and trimming it. earlier this year juliusson opened his 'growing jewelry' store
at reykjavik art museum, where pieces are displayed on sand beds under spotlighted growing lamps.
