Hybridxlab Nepenthe Vessel Hybrid Pitcher Plant Earrings Hand-Cast Botanical Jewelry for Gallery and Art Events
Nepenthe Vessel
A pair of hand-cast Nepenthes earrings created from two pitcher plant parents: Nepenthes jamban and Nepenthes veitchii. The rounded, vessel-like pitcher of N. jamban is crossed with the broad, flared peristome of N. veitchii, forming a suspended hybrid structure in polished silver-tone plated brass.
The name joins nepenthe—the sorrow-softening substance of classical literature—with vessel, a form made to receive and hold. Nepenthe Vessel does not erase memory. It treats emotion as something that can be carried, understood, and transformed until its weight begins to change.
Each pair belongs to the Hybridxlab Hybrid Codex archive and is issued with its own Species File.

Named from nepenthe—the sorrow-softening substance of classical literature—and vessel, the pitcher’s receiving form, Nepenthe Vessel symbolizes holding emotion until its weight begins to change.
Nepenthes jamban contributes the compact, vessel-like upper pitcher and curved body. Nepenthes veitchii contributes the broad, flared peristome. Cast together at wearable scale, the two parent forms become one suspended hybrid.
SPECIES FILE
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.
SUPPORT ARCHIVE
Clear answers about orders, shipping, returns, and product support.
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.
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.
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. The plant's tendril extends into the ear hook, merging the wearing structure with the pitcher form.
Keep the earrings away from moisture, sweat, perfume and cosmetics to help preserve their silver-tone finish. Wipe them with a soft dry cloth after wearing and store the pair separately in the included protective pouch to reduce oxidation, yellowing and surface scratches.
