48" strand of hand-drilled Pau Brazil rainforest seeds is pre-strung w/out clasp. Ready to wear or disassemble & use the beads in your own jewelry designs.

The red color is completely natural. Did you know that Brazil got it's name from the Pau Brazil tree? Indigenous indians and early european settlers derived a red dye from the brightly pigmented wood.

We love traveling to Brazil, where we search far and wide for ethnic/tribal jewelry & artisans who create unique Brazilian designs with traditional plant materials.

Buy with confidence, knowing that this item has already cleared customs & will be shipped direct from California via US mail.

This would also make a wonderful gift for anyone who loves rare exotic beads or Brazilian ethnic jewelry.

We're committed to Fair Trade, buying these beads directly from the Tupi Guarani indians. This is a great opportunity to acquire an authentic piece of material culture from this rapidly vanishing tribe (Brasil has approx. 328,000 remaining indians. Of which, 197,000 live in the Amazon). The remaining members of the Mbya Guarani (a subgroup of the Tupi Guarani) still inhabit the interiors of the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Parana and Mato Grosso.

100% satisfaction guaranteed.
