Small Blue Yawanawa Necklace
A smaller Yawanawa necklace in blue, light enough to wear every day and quiet enough to go with anything. If the large collars are too much for you, this is a good first piece of tribal beadwork.
Blue is the color of water and sky, and of calm. Many people like to wear something blue during meditation or a stressful time, as a small reminder to breathe.
Like all Yawanawa beadwork it is woven by hand in a village in the Brazilian Amazon. Read more in the story of Yawanawa beadwork.
Every piece is made by hand, so no two are exactly the same. The one you receive is the one in the photos.
What Yawanawa Jewelry Carries
For the Yawanawa, a piece of jewelry is never just decoration.
- The spirit of the materials – seeds, feathers and beads are believed to carry the spirit of the forest, and whoever wears them carries it too.
- A language of patterns – every pattern tells a story, a myth or a teaching, and keeps the memory of the people alive from one generation to the next.
- Taken with respect – materials are gathered without harming the forest, as a way of giving thanks for what it gives.
- Born in vision – many patterns and colors come from visions seen in ceremony with ayahuasca.
- A talisman – worn for protection, strength and harmony, and to stay connected with yourself and with nature.
