Designer Hafsteinn Juliusson’s Growing Jewelry collection is a “clash of jewelry and gardening.” The silver rings and necklaces come with bright green moss that must be watered once every five weeks or allowed to deep-freeze for preservation. Alternately, wearers can fill the tiny flower pots with a local plant. HAF Growing Jewelry Necklace, about $253. www.hafsteinnjuliusson.com

Gydja is Icelandic for “goddess,” which is just what you’ll feel like after strapping on these snakeskin boots. The boots come in red, white, bronze or black leather, with silver stiletto heels. Like everything else in Gydja designer Sigrun Lilja Gudjonsdottir’s collection, the boots are bold and empowering but wearable. Boots with snakeskin lowers and croco-cow leather uppers, $490. http://gydja.is

If Icelandic fashion conjures images of bulky reindeer sweaters and wooly socks, take another look. Farmers Market designer Bergthora Gudnadottir added a dash of flamenco flair to the traditional Icelandic design of this shawl. It also comes in a black, red and white design. Öxl Shawl, about $190. http://farmersandfriends.is

This whimsical Fairytale Clock gently reminds its owners to make time for play. The eccentric yet functional design seems to nod to Iceland’s Scandinavian ancestry. Also available in the shape of a swan, the clock comes in vibrant colors, including shades of blue, pink, green and orange. Fairytale Clock by Stáss Ornaments, about $90. www.stass.is/forsida
