The Mucuna sea bean is native to tropical areas, and is usually found washed up on the beach. Various species are valued for their nutritional content, but far more are valued by their ability to be polished and turned into jewelry, such as this little fob! The organic nut has been polished to a shine and capped with 14k yellow gold, with a gold monogram attached to the front. This would look great by itself or as part of your "neck mess!"
