A Specimen, Worn.
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.
A hand-cast botanical necklace inspired by the hinged trap structure of the Venus flytrap and crossed with a vertebral form. Finished with a mirror-polished coated metal alloy surface and worn on a cord, this piece belongs to the Hybridxlab X-Hybrid archive.
The Venus flytrap symbolizes protection, instinct, and selective openness. Worn close to the body, it becomes a quiet reminder to guard your energy and choose what you let in.
Designed for evenings, dates, gallery visits, and quiet statement looks.

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.

No. Each piece is hand-cast, so slight variations in texture, edge detail, and finish may appear. These are natural marks of the making process.
