This hand crafted necklace is made from Ininti seeds collected by the Warlpiri women from central Australia. The women gather the seeds from the Ininti, a native tree which grows in sandy areas close to creeks and dry river beds. The seeds come in many different hues (deep reds, oranges and creams). Holes are made in the ininti seeds by poking with a hot wire.

Necklaces are culturally significant in womens and mens ceremonies.
