A Specimen, Worn.
Cavity partially oxidized to define depth; toothed edge hand-polished. The leaf-stalk stem twists once before terminating in the ear hook.
A pair of hand-cast botanical earrings inspired by the hinged trap structure of the Venus flytrap. Finished in polished silver-tone plated brass, each piece belongs to the Hybridxlab Origin archive.
The Venus flytrap symbolizes protection, instinct, and selective openness. Worn close to the face, the earrings create a sharp botanical presence: quiet, precise, and slightly dangerous.
Designed for evening looks, gallery visits, dates, and daily outfits that need a subtle structural edge.

SPECIMEN MAINTENANCE
Sterling silver darkens with neglect. Treat it as a specimen, not as costume.
Wipe both sides with the anti-tarnish cloth after wear.
Keep away from perfume, sulfur springs, chlorinated pools, and household bleach.
Do not over-polish the darkened interior; the oxidation is part of the specimen.
Return both pieces to the bone-white sleeve. The anti-tarnish strip stays active for approximately six months.

The Venus Flytrap Specimen Earrings are hand-cast botanical earrings inspired by the hinged trap structure of the Venus flytrap. They belong to the Hybridxlab Origin archive.
This piece draws from the flytrap's hinged lobes, trap teeth, and inner cavity. It explores instinct, protection, and selective openness.
No. Each pair is hand-cast, so slight variations in texture, edge detail, and finish may appear. These are natural marks of the making process.
The earrings are worn through the ear with an integrated hook. Its smooth curve is inspired by the Venus flytrap petiole, keeping the wearing structure part of the botanical form.
