Macrame Earrings with Huayruro and Red Coral

    $25.00

This vibrant red earrings are created with a shiny red glass bed, a red coral in the center and a beautiful huayruro or "sirari" seed at the bottom. I adore the shine on this red and black seed and I love to wear it, I feel it is a powerful seed, it has some sort of mysterious vitality. Well, I guess many feel this way because it is considered good luck throughout South America, thanks to the traditions of various indigenous tribes. At the bottom it has two little ceramic tubes. They are some of the last ceramic pieces of a bagful I bought in Armenia (Colombia) a few years ago from a very talented ceramic artisan.

It is 2 ½ inches long. It can be washed with a gentle soap and a soft brush, but it can’t be soaked in water for longer than a few minutes because the sirari seed is not water resistant, if exposed to water continuously, the seed will eventually fill up with water and burst. Remember that this is what you do when you want the plant to grow out from it! By the way, the sirari or huayruro, scientifically named Ormosia sp. is a beautiful tree that grows in the Amazon rainforest and around south America.
