This striking necklace is 30 inches long and features a classic hook-and-eye clasp, graduated natural dark turquoise rondelle beads accented by a single Huayruro (Wayruru) seed—bright red with a distinct black spot—from the Ormosia coccinea tree native to the Amazon regions of Brazil and Peru.
Tiny spacer beads made from antique hand-carved wood from India add warmth and artisanal character to the design. In Peru, Huayruro seeds are traditionally used as good luck charms. In other Amazonian regions, they are worn to ward off evil spirits, symbolizing protection, good fortune, and spiritual balance—making this necklace both a beautiful statement piece and a meaningful talisman.
