Charming, and elegant, this macrame necklace features two stunning stones: tiger eye and agate. The brownish agate is wrapped with a macrame design using light brown and cream color linen, which swirls down the stone, to allow a gorgeous tiger eye stone shaped like a drop to dangle softly below. The upper part of the necklace consists of an asymmetrical macrame design combining two shades of brown and small tiger eye stones.

To clasp the necklace insert the beads into the opening and adjust to the desired length. The necklace can be washed with gentle soap and a soft brush, and can be used in water since all of its materials are water resistant.

A gorgeous turquoise stone, trapped inside a web embedded in a jacaranda shell.
The jacaranda shell is the seed pod of a beautiful tree native to tropical regions, and very abundant in my home town. The green seed pods, resembling wooden turtle shells cover the trees, just hanging out. When the shell dries, it falls to the ground, and eventually the sun opens them up to release the seeds.
It is an amazing natural piece, excellent for eco-friendly projects. The jacaranda shell is found in different sizes and slightly varied shapes. Additionally, the leaves and the flowers of the Jacaranda tree are used for medicinal purposes.
I got this turquoise stone, originally from the Four Corners (US) at a fair in Texas, where I was very impressed by the crafts and jewelry of the native American Indians.
Inspired by the Indian dream catcher, I created this spider web over the shell, which hold the light turquoise in it’s heart. The macrame necklace combines light blue and cream colors. To close the necklace insert the acai seeds into the opening. It can be washed with gentle soap and a soft brush.
