Morototo, a plant-based material

Morototo (Didymopanax morototoni) is presented here dyed, to show how this plant-based material can be transformed before being used in an artisanal creation.

Tento, a natural seed

Tento (Adenanthera pavonina) is presented here in its natural state, to show the plant seed used in these artisanal compositions.

How to wear it

Each seed in this necklace is meticulously hand-harvested in the Amazon rainforest, capturing the natural richness and ancestral tradition of this region.

The latex is traditionally hand-collected from rubber trees in the Tapajos National Forest and processed in the community's workshops.

The warm, saturated tones of this necklace (red, yellow, black) make it very expressive. To allow it to shine, opt for solid-colored outfits in subtle shades (white, beige, light gray) or neutral tones (warm, like camel or khaki); an ecru or soft gray will subtly highlight the colors of the jewelry.

It works particularly well with simple necklines, a slight V-neck, a wide round neck, or a moderately low-cut blouse. This harmonizes the silhouette and effortlessly draws attention to the jewelry.

Pair it with a light white shirt or a structured blazer for an elegant interplay between natural pieces and modern lines.

Avoid overload: opt for discreet earrings or delicate bracelets, ideally made from natural materials.

With flowing pieces or summer-inspired outfits, faux linen stripes, or a light maxi dress, this jewelry adds a delicate boho-chic touch while remaining authentic.
