Necklace, 'Parrot's Beak'

This necklace by Leticia Scarpa and Hugo Torre is inspired by the bico de papagaio (literally, "parrot's beak"), a plant found in the Mata Atlantica rainforest along the coast of Southeastern Brazil. This region of the country is suffering from continual environmental devastation, and the artisans use their pieces to preserve a sense of natural beauty. The accessory artfully combines sterling silver with contrasting beads made from cinnamon sticks. 925 rating silver.
