During the Colombian Minizales Fair, costume groups in fancy dress take over the city and a Coffee Queen is named. Evidence of the colorful garb these fair participants wear can be seen in this Coffee Queen Abstract Totumo Seed Necklace & Earrings set, which is exclusive to Blue Gobi.
A 17-inch triple-strand velvet suede lace cord forms the foundation of this necklace. A elongated totumo seed suspends from the cord and is color-blocked in rich shades of coffee brown, forest green and spicy red.
Post and seeds included, this set’s earrings have a length of 2.5 inches. The double diamond-shaped seeds that hang from the 950 silver posts are hued in an olive green and mustard yellow combo. A starburst coffee bean like etching centerpieces each of the diamonds.
This set is comprised of our Coffee Queen Abstract Totumo Seed Necklace and our Coffee Queen Abstract Totumo Seed Earrings, which are both available for purchase separately.

Colombia is the world’s largest exporter of Arabica coffee beans. The nation’s coffees harmoniously blend the best flavors, aromas and bodies. As a result, the country has earned the world-renowned description “famous for coffee.”
The big green totumo fruit is found on a finca (land with a cottage of sorts) in Sante Fe de Antioquia, Colombia. Inside this fruit are dozens of uniquely shaped and sized seeds that are harvested and used by local craftsmen and women.
This necklace is approximately 17 inches and secures with a silver clasp. The earrings are approximately 2.5 inches from the lobe.

The natural fibers in this necklace and earrings set’s totumo seeds require special attention. This jewelry set should be stored in a cool, dry place and should never be immersed in water. Apply all liquid cosmetics prior to wearing and allow them to dry first before putting on this necklace and earrings set.
The velvet suede cord should be cared for as any fine leather: 1) cleaning with a cleanser that will preserve its natural oils; 2) conditioning to keep it supple and 3) protecting it with a moisture barrier.
Silver 950 should be stored in an airtight container with a soft lining. Cleaning with soap and water and buffing with a soft cloth will keep your silver 950 shiny as new. Avoid exposure of your silver 950 to abrasive cleansers and bleach, which may cause discoloration.
