Spiky, gnarled, strange, foreboding and sometimes toxic. There are over 1,500 species and can have an average lifespace of 10 to 200 years, but some have been known to live even longer. Their leaves have been replaced by spines and they adapt quickly to conserve water to survive in hot and dry environments. They naturally live where people can’t survive, but they themselves can survive within a home, garden or office and still look good. These bizarre characteristics are that of cactus. Wear this signet ring to remind you of nature’s inexplicability.
