  • Bike Planter
    Colleen Jordan has been pleasing fashionista green thumbs with her <a href="http://www.wearableplanter.com" target="_blank">Wearable Planters</a> for years, and her adorable bike planters, planter necklaces, lapels and <a href="http://inhabitat.com/with-mr-lentzs-wooden-jewelry-you-wear-grass-and-moss-on-your-hand/" target="_blank">rings</a> will have you saying "I do". Each colorful bauble is <a href="http://inhabitat.com/conceptual-artists-and-designers-push-boundaries-of-design-at-londons-first-3d-print-show/" target="_blank">3D printed</a> and holds a teeny tiny plant for you to tote around on your hand or handlebars.

  • Wearable Planter Ring
    Rather than dazzling with diamonds or gemstones, Jordan’s ring lets wearers show off their love of technology and, of course, nature.
    2
  • Bike Planter
    Each planter is 3D printed with Selective Laser Sintering as one piece. The planters are then hand dyed into a variety of colors and varnished to protect against water damage.

    The minute sprig on your hand or around your neck will have gawkers asking “is that thing real?” just like any flashy gem would.
    4
  • Wearable Planter Ring
    The rings come in both diamond and icosahedron shapes with a hollow center that can hold your favorite <a href="http://inhabitat.com/diy-how-to-make-an-enchanting-terrarium-necklace-to-keep-or-give-as-a-gift/" target="_blank">tiny blossom or greenery</a>. Jordan recommends preserved moss or small air plants that can survive in the small living space.

  • Wearable Planter Ring
    Each ring comes with a small metal planting tin.

    Wearable Planters' <a href="http://inhabitat.com/3d-printed-wearable-planters-let-you-take-plants-with-you-everywhere-you-go/" target="_blank">portable planters for your bike</a> allows you to tote greenery anywhere, in teeny sizes of course.
