Rock it and then plant it.
Meet Susan McLeary, a 41-year-old florist and jewelry designer based in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
McLeary got into floral work when a frazzled friend needed help with flowers for her wedding. "Once I started working with flowers, I knew I'd found my medium," she told BuzzFeed.

To combine her love of plants and fashion, McLeary started to make succulent jewelry.
Her Etsy store PassionflowerMade features succulent-studded cuffs and rings, statement plant necklaces, and striking boutonnieres.

How it works: McLeary trims succulent roots and secures them to jewelry using plant-safe floral glue.
The result: Stunning special occasion alternatives to traditional jewelry.

The succulents typically last between 1 and 3 weeks.
"Some people will wear them up to 6 weeks," she said. At that point, the succulents will start sprouting small roots.
