Ornella Iannuzzi / Anna Schmid / Christine J. Brandt

Nature, au naturel: this "in the forest" ring by London's Ornella Iannuzzi is composed of petrified wood, dry mushrooms, bark, moss and silver. I think Les Stroud is hiding in there somewhere, too.

Above, Switzerland's Anna Schmid shows us another wooden ring that embraces its roots. While I absolutely love the display for this piece, I'm really glad the concept was done with wood and not fur.

Bonus link: more wood from Ohio's Christine J. Brandt, who is probably best known for her rings featuring clusters of uncut semiprecious stones.

Even more jewellery:

• iWood (Kentucky) - wood & brass


• Kathryn Hinton (UK) - silver ovals


• Janis Kerman (Montreal) - metal & gems
