San Jose Raindrop Macrame Necklace

Many hours of knotting during rainy days in San Jose… my new home is a very rainy place, that means plenty of indoor hours listening to the the hypnotizing sounds of the raindrops falling to the ground… This is what I tried to express in this necklace. Seriously, it rained so much, every single day during months, that creating this piece was almost compulsory, a part of my adapting to this new environment.
It features a smoky agate shaped like a rain drop that I got in Brazil a couple of years ago when visiting the Iguazu falls… plenty water there too! It has a macrame design embracing the stone, and thick weaving to rest upon your neck, all with plenty of linen with water-bluish colors, so the necklace will flow down your chest.
To clasp the necklace insert the acai seeds into the bead opening. Native to a plam tree from the Amazon, this is the seed of the incredibly delicious and nutritive acai berry drink, widely desired for it’s antioxidant power and rich flavor. The acai berry juice has become a popular drink lately, used to energize our bodies, aid in weight loss and to protect from chemicals (like free radicals) entering our bodies and skin. Here you can also enjoy the plant’s benefit on your jewelry! The necklace can be washed with gentle soap and a soft brush. It can be used in water since all of its materials are water resistant.
