Abalone and spondylus necklace from the Peruvian Amazon
This elegant boho-style necklace features a large tear drop shaped pendant of red spondylus shell with a border of abalone pieces mounted on a backing of black cow horn. The cord is a corkscrew style of black beads with a button clasp. The necklace was made by an expert artisan from Iquitos who has worked with the Center for Amazon Community Ecology for ten years.

Cutting and burning forests is often more profitable than conserving them, so some native communities in northern Peru have illegally logged and grown coca and other cash-crops to escape poverty.
