Morototo, a plant material

Morototo (Didymopanax morototoni) is presented here dyed, to show how this plant material can be transformed before becoming part of an artisanal creation.

Jarina, a vegetable ivory

Jarina (Phytelephas macrocarpa) is a naturally hard plant material, used in crafts for its texture and appearance. This documentary image reveals the material at the origin of the creation.

Açaí, an Amazonian seed

Açaí (Euterpe oleracea) comes from an emblematic Amazonian palm tree. In these creations, its seed becomes an artisanal material, giving new life to a plant element deeply connected to the daily life of the region.

How to wear it

This necklace combines the warmth of morototo seeds, the sparkle of açaí, and the finesse of jarina, creating a piece of jewelry that is both authentic and radiant. Its blend of natural textures and colors makes it a unique eye-catching accessory.

Wear it with a plain outfit (white, beige, linen) to make the colors stand out fully.

It pairs well with simple outfits or light shirts, adding an ethnic and refined focal point.

This necklace can be worn alone as a statement piece, or with matching bracelets to create a harmonious and colorful ensemble.
