Vintage Pick Of The Day: Bamboo Bling
Bamboo is an environmental wonderkid. This fastest growing plant on the planet (up to 4-ft per day in some species!) releases 35% more oxygen than trees and can be harvested sustainably. Here are some more interesting bamboo facts:
* The filament in Thomas Edison’s first light bulb was made of carbonized bamboo.
* Alexander Graham Bell’s first phonograph needle was made of bamboo.
* There is a 250-yd suspension bridge in China made strictly from bamboo–no nails or iron needed.
In tribute of this miracle material designed by Mother Nature herself, I present today’s VPOD. This vintage 1970s gold Napier necklace is made of bamboo-like rings that add style to the list of bamboo’s amazing properties.
It’s a lovely bit of bamboo bling for a vintage fashionista!
