Orange Macrame Earrings with Huayruro and Acai Seeds 

Orange Macrame Earrings with Huayruro and Acai Seeds

$25.00

 These earrings have a very uplifting orangness that makes them very enjoyable to wear and look at. (Note: the orangeness is brighter than the picture shows). With a small coral stone at the top, a wonderful orange sirari seed in the center and a round and happy acai seed at the bottom. The double half hitch diamond macrame pattern is made with orange linen, and decorated with orange glass beads. The sirari (named like this in Bolivia) seed, also known as Huayruro (Peru) and Olho de Cabra or goats eye in Brazil; scientifically know as Ormosia sp., is featured in the center. This magical seed comes in shades of red and orange. It is considered good luck throught South America and is used as a protection against the "evil eye" (the harmful eye of envy).

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!
