White and Gold Crystal Beaded Wrap Bracelet from Guatemala, "Spiral in White"

Guatemalan artisan Mirian Zet crafts this elegant wrap bracelet with a ring of golden crystals joined on both sides by white glass beads, resulting in a refined aesthetic that is equal to more than the sum of its beads. Continuing the traditional art of beading that she learned from her grandparents, Mirian hopes to grow her artisanal workshop that specializes in beaded jewellery, so that she can hire local women and improve lives in her community.
