Navigating Through Life

Similar to the ring, this stunning .950 sterling silver necklace is a sentimental piece of jewelry that has been crafted to pay tribute to the Marajoara Collection, this magnificent necklace is a stunning addition to any jewelry collection. Made from 950 sterling silver, this piece is rich in intricate details and shapes, featuring the form of a canoe with two triangular shapes at the beginning and end. The center of the necklace is adorned with a muiraquitã, which is considered sacred by many indigenous peoples of South America, especially in the Amazon region. This symbol represents power, courage, and strength, and is used as a protective amulet to attract health and luck.

The canoe shape on the necklace is symbolic of journey, navigation, and the exploration of both the physical world and the inner self. In indigenous culture, canoes are seen as a metaphor for life's journey, reminding us to navigate through both calm and tumultuous waters to reach our ultimate destination. The triangular shapes on the necklace represent the balance between the three forces of nature: air, water, and earth. Air symbolizes breathing, renewal, and communication with the divine, water represents purification and transformation, while earth symbolizes stability, strength, and connection with nature. These elements, when combined, help balance our emotions, thoughts, purify us emotionally, spiritually, and connect us with the divine in nature.

The use of green coloring, made through a local inlaid technique, adds an extra layer of beauty and shine to this already impressive piece. This coloring technique is unique to northern Brazil and was created with the intention of being more environmentally friendly.

With its rich symbolism and stunning design, this necklace from the "Sorte Marajoara" collection is a piece that can be worn by those who believe in its strength and wish to connect with nature and the divine. It is also a must-have for those who admire Marajoara art and its history.

Handmade .950 sterling silver. The green color in the pendant is achieved through a local inlay technique using malachite powder.

Avoid Chemical Exposure: Keep your necklace away from chemicals such as chlorine, bleach, and ammonia, which can tarnish silver. Apply makeup, hairspray, perfume, and lotions before putting on your necklace to minimize chemical exposure.
Physical Activities: Remove your necklace during physical activities to prevent scratches or other damage.
Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently polish the silver. This will help maintain its shine and remove any tarnish.
