Large Mazo Necklace for Ochún Ibu Kolé

A large-format ceremonial piece dedicated to Ochún Ibu Kolé (Oshun Ibu Kole), crafted with faceted Swarovski crystal beads in a multi-strand composition. The design combines gold/amber, green, red, and black tones, with larger accent beads and dangling finishes that enhance the volume, movement, and brilliance of the mazo.

Within the Afro-Cuban Lucumí/Santería tradition, mazo necklaces are distinguished from simple elekes by their larger scale and more elaborate construction, featuring grouped beads and multiple strands. Ibu Kolé is one of the paths of Ochún and is traditionally associated, depending on the religious house, with combinations that include black, coral/red, and amber/gold.

Large Mazo vs. Regular Eleke

This model is a large mazo, with greater volume and weight than a regular eleke. Its multi-strand construction and abundant crystal beads create a much more elaborate visual presence, making it suitable for those seeking a large-format ceremonial piece.

Care Instructions

Because of the number of crystal beads and its weight, handle the mazo with both hands, avoid impacts or drops, and store it in a way that prevents unnecessary tension on the strands.
