Bright Purple REAL Preserved Wolfsbane Flower Pendant w/ Swarovski Crystal Briolettes

This pendant features a REAL preserved bright purple wolfsbane flower with two aurora borealis Swarovski crystal briolettes. This pendant comes on a 20 inch sterling silver Figaro link chain. The only metallic elements in this piece are the wire and chain. The petals and sepal petaloids (hood of the flower) have been meticulously preserved, painted, and sealed. This process ensures that the flower is safe to wear and handle.

Wolfsbane, also known as monkshood or aconite, is a very popular yet very deadly plant that has been cultivated throughout the Northern Hemisphere since the Middle Ages. Very popular due to its bright blue, regal hooded flowers and hardy nature. Very deadly due to the alkaloid aconitine, which is found in all parts of the plant. Aconitine will first cause numbness on contact. It can be inhaled, eaten, or even absorbed through the skin. Death due to respiratory or cardiac paralysis follows shortly. Wolfsbane is a common ingredient in witches flying ointment recipes and is said to keep werewolves at bay.
