Benefits of technology

[0016]The jewelry apparatus (e.g., inserted into rings, necklaces, lockets, bracelets, etc. or integral thereto) with living ornamental materials includes a base component with a receptacle in which a living material substrate is placed and a cover restraining component through which the living ornament materials grow. The cover restraining portion covers the bottom portion and also prevents the living material substrate and living materials from falling out of the base component. The living material substrate includes seeds for various types of plants and trees and nutrients to allow the seeds to grow. As the seeds germinate and grow, they grow upwards out of the base component and provide jewelry with living, growing, renewable ornamental materials.

Problems solved by technology

However, such jewelry is typically ornamental and not modifiable without considerable expertise.
However, chamber included in this jewelry is typically not designed to hold any living materials.
However, none of these solutions solve all of the problems associated with jewelry with living materials.
