The frog and the Muiraquitã
The frog is one of the forms associated with the Muiraquitã, an iconic amulet of the Amazon. This photograph is used as a documentary evocation of the motif: it does not seek to attribute a specific animal species to the Muiraquitã.
How to wear it
Wear this necklace over an off-white, beige, or light camel top to allow the warm tones of the necklace to stand out elegantly.
A solid-colored dress in soft tones, such as linen or sand, will create a cohesive and delicate summer vibe.
Let the necklace take center stage.
A minimalist white blouse or a casual blazer will provide a subtle canvas for this distinctive handcrafted piece.
Let the Muiraquitã be the focal point of your look.
Avoid bulky layered necklaces; prefer a few light accessories, such as discreet earrings or a thin golden Capim Dourado (Syngonanthus nitens) bracelet.
The Muiraquitã is a traditional Amazonian symbol, often made of clay.
