This Island Marooned Seed Necklace is brought to Blue Gobi by Colombian artisans, who are inspired by their country’s renewable resources. The maroon beads that encrust the neck cord of this necklace are Bombona seeds that are hand-painted to give them their rich hue. Measuring 24 inches, this Island Marooned Seed Necklace ties at the nape of the neck with an adjustable cord. It can be either worn around the throat to accentuate the skin or draped down the neckline, lending natural beauty to any outfit.
Culled from a palm tree that grows in Colombia’s tropical rainforests, the Bombona seed is dried and then polished to a matte sheen. To add visual interest, the seeds are then painted a variety of colors, a burgundy variety of which is featured in this necklace.
Every element of the Bombona paso is put to use in Colombia. The stems of the tree are used in construction, the leaves serve as thatching, and the seeds are dyed and polished for use in handicrafts like this necklace.
This necklace when stretched out measured approximately 24 inches and ties at the nape of your neck, allowing the flexibility of wearing it long or short like a choker.
