REAL Dark Purple Wolfsbane Sterling Silver Filigree Pendant w/ Swarovski Crystal Pearl Accent

This pendant features a REAL preserved dark purple and white wolfsbane flower set on a laser cut sterling silver filigree oval with a white Swarovski crystal pearl and aurora borealis Swarovski crystal accent. 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.
