Deadly nightshade studs

Belladonna (deadly nightshade) was once said to be an ingredient in a witch's "flying ointment," a hallucinogenic mixture of herbs that allowed the witch to fly. Some thought it caused literal flight, but some considered it only to be spiritual flight. 

These earrings feature a black freshwater pearl resembling a nightshade berry, in the center of a silver flower. 

Flower size: 13mm across

Materials

These earrings are made entirely of sterling silver. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver with 7.5% copper, which is added to make the metal more durable. There is no outer plating- the metal can be polished over and over for a lifetime.
