Why these two parents.
Cast at wearable scale, the pendant carries its full anatomy — trap, spine, terminal — against the skin. Bilateral symmetry holds along the body axis whether mounted from the cranial or caudal loop.

What are the Nepenthes Hybrid Specimen Earrings?
The Nepenthes Hybrid Specimen Earrings are hand-cast botanical earrings inspired by two pitcher parents: Nepenthes jamban and Nepenthes veitchii. They belong to the Hybridxlab Hybrid Codex archive.
What inspired this piece?
The design combines the rounded upper pitcher of Nepenthes jamban with the flared lower pitcher of Nepenthes veitchii. It explores release, quiet resilience, and growth through change.
Will each pair look exactly the same?
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.
How do the earrings fasten?
The earrings are worn through the ear with an integrated hook. The plant's tendril extends into the ear hook, merging the wearing structure with the pitcher form.
