Close of ring\u003cbr/\u003eIt's an emerald ring with a difference.\u003cbr/\u003eA designer in Iceland has come up with a unique way to combine living, green moss with silver and steel to produce\"living jewellery\".\u003cbr/\u003eSome people like diamonds. Others like emeralds.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd then there are those who like moss.\u003cbr/\u003eThey might not be the majority of the jewellery lovers, but there are enough moss fans around the world to keep Hafsteinn Juliusson and his colleagues at the growing jewellery company busy.\u003cbr/\u003eJuliusson first had the idea to put a living plant in a silver sing in 2008.\u003cbr/\u003eHe experimented with a variety of plants and grass before deciding the native Icelandic moss would be best suited for what he envisaged as a \"return to nature\" jewellery design.\u003cbr/\u003eThere is no shortage of moss in Iceland.\u003cbr/\u003eThe volcanic rocks on the Island are covered in it.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Juliusson soon realised that the strongest, greenest and most attractive moss was not necessarily growing on the Icelandic hills or around hot springs.\u003cbr/\u003eIt could be found in Iceland's many geothermal heated greenhouses.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The reason why we chose this one is because it is really dense and it is really rich. And that is because it is a by-product of this greenhouse, because it grows on the pipes, the geothermal pipes, that heat up the greenhouses, \" he says.\u003cbr/\u003eWhen Juliusson visited a greenhouse for rose plants, some 20 kilometres (12 miles) north of the capital Reykjavik, he knew he had found the perfect moss for his project.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I saw this product, or this by-product, that is growing here on the pipes. And they are just picking it up and throwing it away. And I thought this is too beautiful, to you know, not be used for something,\" he says.\u003cbr/\u003eNow Juliusson visits the greenhouse every two months and picks enough moss for his next collection.\u003cbr/\u003eHe currently sells around 20-30 pieces a month, either in a few stores in Reykjavik, or online.\u003cbr/\u003eThe rings and necklaces sell for 150 euro (US$199) and are made from steel.\u003cbr/\u003eSilver rings can be specially ordered at a higher price.\u003cbr/\u003eThe moss needs to be watered every few weeks and occasionally cut.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd the jewellery has a life span according to Juliusson - \"Normal use would be two years, or so. And after that we encourage people to go out to the nature and pick what they kind of connect with and place that inside. If they don't want to do that they can contact me and I can send them more Icelandic moss.\" .\u003cbr/\u003eThe best way to increase the life of the moss is to keep the jewellery in the freezer.\u003cbr/\u003eBerglind Jonsdottir likes the idea of wearing something living.\u003cbr/\u003e\"I love the design. It is such a connection to the Icelandic nature. And its alive so it is different from every other jewellery we have,\"\u003cbr/\u003eshe says.\u003cbr/\u003eHalla Bogadottir is also sold on the idea of wearing a piece of Icelandic nature.\u003cbr/\u003e\"To have this idea, to put a living thing in to a metal.
