The jequirity, also called rosary pea or Indian licorice (Abrus precatorius), is a legume with long pinnate-leafleted leaves, whose seeds are used as beads and in percussion instruments.
The seed is highly poisonous but is unlikely to harm if swallowed raw and unbroken, as the seeds have a hard seed coat.
Jewelry-making with jequirity seeds is dangerous, and there have been cases of death by a finger-prick while boring the seeds for beadwork.
