Inspired by botany

This stunning living jewellery is designed by Jessica Viola.  I first saw her work on Trend Tablet.
 Her work is handmade and designed using sustainably harvested and ecologically responsible materials, including natural fibers and hemp, rare and inspired gems from friends around the globe, fine chains including 24K gold overlay, sterling silver, rose gold, copper, brass and recycled metals, and rare species of Tillandsias (air plants) that are grown organically and sustainably.
Sexy, modern, fashion-forward botanical jewelry which acts as  a vehicle to inspire greater environmental consciousness by deepening our relationship to plants, articulating this connection within our bodies, our spirits and our lives.
These pretty pieces are from Etsy shop mydogandi.  Unfortunately they aren't available outside the US as they contain live plants but they are lovely all the same.
I thought this was such a cute idea from Ruffled, from a wedding photographed by Dreambox Photography, to have DIY terrariums in light bulbs as wedding decorations/ name cards - I think they'd look great in the home too if you had several all hung together what do you think? There were lots of inspiration for light bulb terrariums over on pinterest and also there is a DIY tutorial here
