Bamboo Ring with 9K gold Bee decorated with Pink Tourmaline, Ruby ,Pearl.

Beautiful bamboo ring, handmade with natural Japanese bamboo root. Lotus Arts de Vivre has cut a natural Bamboo root into a ring and has decorated it with a 9K gold Bee set with Pink Tourmaline, Pearl and Rubies in eyes. The lining inside the ring is black rhodium sterling silver and 9K gold besides the ring.
 
Crafted from Japanese Bamboo root and transformed into a ring, it’s a pure depiction of the ingenuity of Lotus Arts de Vivre designs – original, inventive and yet purposeful. Bamboo, while exotic in the west, is one of the most practical natural plants. It has tremendous strength as shown when used as scaffolds on construction sites. It grows fast and flowers only once in a lifetime, then dies. The time of flowering can be 5 to 75 years and when it happens, it occurs across the world at the same time. The finer strands are used for fans, purses, bags, hats, baskets and other items. Larger, thick strips are used for flower baskets, walls and other items, while bamboo roots like these can offer a wide variety of purposes. While bamboo was originally used for practical items around the house, these have been further developed by Lotus Arts de Vivre into art pieces.
 
The piece took over 1.5 month to finish, with over 6 designers and craftsmen involved at various stages.
