Floral as a Geometric Motif

Here is another approach that uses what is commonly thought of as classic organic imagery but creates a graphic style using repetition.

From a distance, the repeated pattern on this necklace looks like dots, but when you look closely, you will see flowers. Lucy Struncova uses the floral cane slices to add a stylized but soft organic side to a modern, graphic look that is further enhanced by the rounded, smooth edges of the triangular forms.
