Morototo, plant material
Morototo (Didymopanax morototoni) is presented here dyed, to show how this plant material can be transformed before being used in an artisanal creation.
Job's Tears, natural seeds
Job's tears (Coix lacryma-jobi) are naturally hard seeds, used in various artisanal traditions. Their shape and surface allow them to be directly incorporated into jewelry compositions.
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
Wear it over a white shirt or a structured top, and add a neutral blazer for a sophisticated contrast between craftsmanship and modernity.
This long necklace is enough on its own. If you wish to add accessories, opt for miniature earrings or a discreet bracelet; the jewelry should remain the visual star.
