Cheap and Chic Thursday: Inspired by Nature

I love nature-inspired designs, and lucky for me, they're very popular this summer.  Favorite read, Style Redux, recently did a feature on Anthropologie's charming animal jewelry. Everyone from Saks to Dior is embellishing baubles with natural inspiration - but considering the economic climate and the subject, perhaps a more tree-friendly approach is best?  These options will save plenty of paper.
