Inspired by the legendary muiraquitã, a small frog that holds a special place in the hearts of those living in the Amazon region, this necklace pays homage to the local folklore. According to the tales, the muiraquitã was crafted by indigenous people residing along the banks of the Amazon River. On moonlit nights, when the land was bathed in a soft, warm glow, these people would dive into a nearby lake to search for the most beautiful stones. They would swiftly shape these stones into small talismanic frogs and offer them to their loved ones, who would wear them as necklaces for good luck on their hunting expeditions.

Even today, many people believe in the power of the muiraquitã and consider it a lucky charm that brings happiness and joy to its possessor. This necklace represents a modern interpretation of this timeless tradition, merging the rich cultural heritage of the Amazon region with the craftsmanship and beauty of silver jewelry. Whether you're seeking a special piece to wear on an occasion or simply looking to add a touch of color to your everyday style, this .925 silver necklace is certain to bring you happiness and good luck wherever you go.
