Opium Poppy - Natural history illustrated jewelry

Description

The beautiful and seductive opium poppy, papaver somniferum, has had a huge impact on humanity throughout history. Not only is the sap used to make opium, a powerful narcotic, but it is the source of life-saving pain relievers like morphine, which revolutionized medicine. Outside of these chemical properties, the striking yet delicate opium poppy is a favorite among flower enthusiasts and gardeners worldwide.

The drawings contained in each of these pendants are reductions of my own original pen, ink and watercolor illustrations, inspired by the etchings of Victorian naturalists. Every piece comes with a keepsake information card that tells you more about each animal, and is signed and numbered.

The pendants are sterling silver and glass, with resin-coated silver leaf on the back of the stone. I hand assemble every piece. They are approximately .8 inches wide and 1.5 inches tall, and come with an 18" oxidized sterling silver chain. This pendant can also be purchased with a 16"-18" inch adjustable black ribbon with sterling silver findings -- please specify "chain" or "ribbon" in your order.
