Item Description

A sexy organic chainmail breastplate made with natural black wayampai, chichao and tuju rainforest seeds.

This is an exquisite traditional indigenous Awajun beaded necklace designed and handmade by the Awajun artisans of Urakusa in the Peruvian Amazon. This striking, long beaded necklace is a powerful piece that will add elegance to an evening dress or over a tee. The all black beads look great worn black on black or as an accent over any color. An adorning piece to empower the heart chakra.

ORG by vio was created as an umbrella for promoting Amazon culture, protecting the rainforest and selling handmade jewelry and accessories made by indigenous Amazon artisans. It works in partnership with artisans in the Amazon to share their traditional artistry and develop designer collections made with rainforest materials as a source for a sustainable economy for the stewards of the forests. The Amazon Rainforest collections are Fair Trade & 50% of the profits are shared with Amazon artisan partners and communities.

Guaranteed to make a stunning, super-feel-good gift for this holiday season!
