Huayruru seed and bead earrings - made by Peruvian Amazon artisan

These simple boho-style earrings feature one large huayruru seed with a small huayruru or black achira seed above. The naturally two-tone huayruru seeds from this distinctive group of tropical trees in the bean family are reddish-orange with a distinctive black patch.  Throughout the Amazon they are considered to bring the bearer good luck, but it is important to remember that they are not edible.  

These earrings are made by an expert artisan from Iquitos who has worked with the Center for Amazon Community Ecology for ten years.  The French hooks are made with non-allergenic material.

Please remember that these handmade crafts may vary from the photos shown.
