tomatoe rings?




Hilde De Decker arrived at this line/experimentation where "It started from a true story: a farmer had lost his wedding ring in the field and found it a season after with a tomato grown inside it. To make the jewelry, Hild De Decker fits the ring over the tender young fruit. Adjusting, intervening, leading, every week or every day, she creates jewelry folowing the rhythm of the vegetables"


i would look into actually preserving the plant rather than the actual plant being worn, everything would be permanent
Hilde's website http://www.hildededecker.com/ has many images of her work and the tomato/vegetable rings.
