Coca Leaf Necklace, Mother-of-Pearl, Handmade, Carved Pendant, Peruvian Handicra

This handcrafted mother-of-pearl necklace features each piece meticulously carved in the shape of a coca leaf, a symbol of life, resilience, and a sacred connection to the earth.

In Andean tradition, the coca leaf is more than a plant; it is a sacred bridge to the divine. It serves as a powerful amulet of protection and a revered offering to the deities (apus). For centuries, it has been used in divination rituals, observing the dripping of its juice or its flavor to predict the future and ward off misfortune. Handmade by Peruvian artisans in Cusco.
