Humulus Lupulus is the Latin name for Humle ( HOPS in English)

In the summer of 2010, a 200-year-old shipwreck was discovered by divers in the southern Åland archipelago. In the cargo there were 168 bottles of champagne but also five brown glass bottles containing a foaming dark beer.

This is the background to the HOPS necklace, a beautifully antiqued silver “cone” depicting the female flowers of the hop plant.
