Ancestral protection in its rawest form

In the traditional communities of Peru and Bolivia, the Huayruro seed is carried as a protective charm. This seed-only bracelet keeps the design unadorned, a quiet Andean symbol worn against the evil eye, known across the region as mal de ojo.

The Tradition

The red and black contrast. The bright red and deep black of the seed is the detail Peruvian folklore points to. The color is said to catch envy and hold it away from the wearer.
Nothing but the seed. With no charms or pendants, the material does the work. It is a clean, durable way to carry a piece of South American protective tradition every day.
Selected by hand. No two seeds are alike. Our artisans in Peru choose each one for color and size, so every bracelet is a distinct piece. From The Andes ships them exactly as assembled, with natural variation intact.

Care and Safety

Huayruro seeds are for external wear only and are not edible. Keep away from small children. Wipe clean with a dry cloth and avoid soaking, which can dull the natural sheen.

Questions

What is a Huayruro seed bracelet for?
In Andean tradition it is worn as a protective charm against the evil eye, or mal de ojo, and as a symbol of good fortune.

Where does it come from?
It is handcrafted in Peru from authentic Huayruro seeds. The protective tradition is shared across Peru and Bolivia.

Will my bracelet look exactly like the photo?
The form will match, but the seeds will not. Each seed is selected by hand, so color and grain vary from piece to piece.

How do I wear and care for it?
It is a stretch fit, so it slips over the hand without a clasp. Wipe with a dry cloth and keep it dry to preserve the sheen.
