With inspiration from Mayan art and architecture, Cristobal Ramirez of Guatemala designs a marvelous wrap bracelet. A beautiful array of glass beads in colors of blue and turquoise are carefully strung by hand between two lengths of nylon cord that wrap the wrist, closing with a reconstituted turquoise button. Says the artisan, "Mayan architecture is a precious thing. Combining different forms and sizes, it is something precious to admire. It is incredible to think that our ancestors achieved magnificent works without imagining that today they would be the treasure of our country."
You can find our glass beaded wrap bracelet 'Mayan Monolith' by Cristobal Ramirez in jewellery categories such as Bohemian Bracelets, Glass Bead Bracelets, Turquoise Bracelets, Reconstituted Turquoise Bracelets and Beaded Bracelets. Enjoy exploring these sections for other Novica treasures.
