LV-2379 Verawood & Betelnut Acorn Pendant Box,Bag Charm, Keychain-SCREW CAP

$ 58.00


This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Verawood (Bulnesia sarmientoi) with Betelnut (Areca catechu) cap. Another interesting acorn that will eventually turns dark green. You can see the exposed part of the acorn body already turned green while the interior part still remains yellow. A fine, hard and heavy wood (also known as Argentine Lignum Vitae) with a nice green patina make this timber truly special. Couple with the beautifully figured Betel Nut for a striking effect. Betel nut is an important palm nut in India, SE Asia and Oceania cultures. It is chewed with betel leaves and lime for the mild stimulant effect; often offered as a sign of hospitality or friendship. The nut is also associated with legends and is a symbol for marital love. The unique pattern of betelnut is just perfect for an acorn cap!
A nice box for your valuables. The screw-on cap makes this nature inspired box extra special and ensures that your content is secured. It is ready to dangle off your keychain, bag zipper, belt with the removable lobster claw. The nut is small enough to be worn as a pendant (without the claw). Good for small daily pills, keepsake...Not recommended for long term storage of emergency pill, since I don't know how air/water tight the closure is. Through the ages, people has given out acorns as a symbol of prosperity and luck. This one is a unique gift.
