Some like it hot. And I'm one of them.
Capsaicin is the hot molecule from chili peppers that makes our face flush, our eyes bulge, or skin sweat. Why do we torture ourselves? Capsaicin leads to the release of endorphins, those pain-killing pleasure molecules.
For spiciest among us, I've commemorated the shape of the capsaicin molecule in sterling silver. The result is a bold necklace, sure to be an attention grabber.
The pendant is about 2 inches long, is made of quality recycled/reclaimed silver, and is attached to a sterling silver chunky link chain, adjustable in length up to about 19.5 inches. It comes in a recycled gift box with a card about capsaicin.
