Mini Huayruro Loco

$22.00

This bracelet is made with tiny huayruro seeds over a black macrame diamond pattern with bright green florescent accents.

This little black and red seed is called huayruro or "huayrurito" for it's close resemblance to the larger huayruro seed. In reality, it is not a true huayruro seed. The huayruro seed grows on a tree and is much larger in size. The huayrurito grows on a bushy vine called arbus precatoria, and is actually among the most poisonous seeds known to man. It can be found in many different tropical regions throughout the world. I have collected it throughout South America, the Caribbean and Florida.

The seed is very popular in South America because it is believed to be the best protection against the "Evil Eye." It is also believed to bring good luck to it's wearer.

You can clean this bracelet with a gentle wet brush, but the bracelet must not be submerged in water because the seeds are not water resistent.

To wear, slip one of the braided ends through the hole and tie it with the other end.

Size: Slightly less than 1 inch wide and 7 1/2 inches long, (plus tying ends).
