The frog and the Muiraquitã

The frog is one of the shapes 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 specific animal species to the Muiraquitã.

How to wear it

Wear this necklace with an off-white, beige, or light camel top to let the warm shades of the necklace 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; opt instead for a few light accessories, such as discreet earrings or a thin gold-toned bracelet made of Capim Dourado (Syngonanthus nitens).

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