Vegetable jewelry…so yumm!

16 November 2014 | Esther Ligthart | Trends & Inspiration

Are you loving your veggies as much as you ought to? Well, if not, you are joined by a large group of people. But there is a lot of interest again in vegetables in our quest to eat healthier and live longer. The beauty of vegetables has not escaped to the eye of the artists and designers. Come and check out some gorgeous healthy jewelry!

Hemmerle carrot earrings, Lorenz Baumer Leek Brooch, Jar and Lorenz Baumer did both make a leek brooch. Stunning fruity heart by Verdura ( which is Italian for vegetable!)

Jewelry by Ottolenghi

Ottolenghi has brought vegetables back to the table in my own household. Although I think I eat very healthy, keeping a food diary not only revealed I eat not enough ( and I am not thin) but also that the amount of vegetables is a lot lower than I would like to confess.

One can almost taste the sweetness of this tasty little strawberry: Jar , the other little fragola is also by Jar. The eggplant is by Hemmerle

Painted veggies

Vegetables and fruits are a huge inspiration in art. And what inspires artists like painters and sculptors, inspires designers of jewelry too. In fact, you will find a lot of fruit jewelry out there and some fantastic vegetables too.

Hemmerle has a fantastic range of vegetable jewelry

Some brands like Hemmerle and Jewelry Theatre do real series of this subject. Others make the occasional brooch.
