Sterling silver, Pearls
2.4 cm x 1.8 cm, 2.9 cm x 1.9 cm
The nipple clip's part-covered design represents the flower's bloom and the spreading lust that will destroy humans. The nipple is the metaphor for the fruit of opium poppy, which is the toxic part of the plants and the primary material of drugs (Encyclopædia Britannica).

The nipple clips remind the wearer to restrain the endless lust for sex
