The frog and the Muiraquitã

The frog is one of the forms associated with the Muiraquitã, an emblematic amulet of the Amazon. This photograph is used as a documentary evocation of the motif: it does not seek to attribute a precise animal species to the Muiraquitã.

How to wear it

Wear this necklace over an off-white, beige, or light camel top to allow the necklace's warm hues to stand out elegantly.

A solid-colored dress in soft tones, such as linen or sand, will create a cohesive and delicate summer ambiance.

Let the necklace take center stage in your styling.

A minimalist white blouse or a casual blazer will provide a subtle canvas for this distinctive artisanal piece.

Let the Muiraquitã be the central element of your look.

Avoid bulky layered necklaces; prefer a few light accessories, such as discreet earrings or a thin gold bracelet made of Capim Dourado (Syngonanthus nitens).

The Muiraquitã is a traditional Amazonian symbol, often made of clay.
