AWAJUN MINI ENKEPA BEADED NECKLACE

Product Details

THE AWAJUN MINI ENKEPA BEADED NECKLACE, a sexy organic necklace you can wear with an evening dress or day ensemble. It is an exquisite traditional indigenous Awajún beaded necklace designed and handmade with kumpia, chichao, tuju and red huayruro seeds by the Awajún artisans in the Peruvian Amazon. The tiny kumpia seeds are dyed with plant dyes to achieve the burgundy color. Dyes come from seeds, leaves and barks found in the rainforest ground.

This design is perfect for those who love wearing the larger enkepa, but may not want to wear such a big statement piece every day. It's an elaborate, narrower design.
