Huayruru Seed, Achira Bead & Quill Dangling Earrings, Various Designs

These elegant earrings feature huayruru seeds of different sizes, in a variety of configurations.  These naturally two-tone seeds from this distinctive group of tropical trees in the bean family are mostly orange with a distinctive black patch.  Throughout the Amazon they are considered to bring the bearer good luck, but it is important to remember that they are not edible.  Different closely related huayruru species (Ormosia spp.) have small, medium or large size seeds. Different models of the earring have achira bead accents, and one has quill dangles.

These earrings are made by an expert artisan from Iquitos who has worked with the Center for Amazon Community Ecology for ten years.  The French hooks are made with non-allergenic material.

Please remember that these handmade crafts may vary from the photos shown.
