Jupati inside-out

Jupati is a Brazilian seed used in many of Carmen Christie's jewelry. You may not always recognize it immediately, because it looks quite differently from the outside as it does on the inside. Jupati can be used whole and cut in different shapes, creating a variety of different looks.

See the difference between the two manners in which the bracelet below is oriented?












The bracelet can be worn inside out, and outside in: offering a view of either the exterior of the jupati seeds, or the exposed interior.

The red seeds in between are "pau Brazil", and naturally fall off a large tree. The vibrant red color is their own natural color, and these seeds are always used untreated and uncut in all our jewelry. They have a smooth finish, and cannot be died but are all are remarkably uniform in color.
