Rebekah Joy Martinez / Christine Brodersen / Simona Materi / Amy Burkholder

A trio of botanical rings today, starting with this bourgeoning work in silver and pearls from the "Secret Garden" collection by RISD student Rebekah Joy Martinez.

Putting focus on the under-represented physalis plant is Germany's Christine Brodersen (who also has some nice knot rings).

Not your typical leaf ring! Gorgeous "Supernatural" ring by Italian jeweller Simona Materi.

Bonus link:
Another botanical ring from Chicago jeweller and art therapist Amy Burkholder, whose "Enlightenment" series focusses on the ginkgo leaf.

Even more jewellery:

• Arisa Kawai (Japan) - real plants


• Yuko Ebina (Califorina) - cherry blossoms


• Vincent Torguet (France) - plexiglas necklaces
