One upside of these living jewelry pieces created by designer Susan McLeary is that if you are the type of person who forgets to take care of your houseplants, you'll have a much more difficult time doing that when they're attached to your wrist or neck. One downside is that is seems like they would be borderline impossible to so much as pick up without damaging. But another upside is that they are beautiful, so...let's call it a wash.
