A light blue and brown men's wristband bracelet is braided by Costa Rica's Allan Viquez using the macrame technique and a very unique material: paracord. Also known as parachute rope, it is a lightweight nylon cord used for parachutes since World War II and for special survival bracelets that allows the wearer to unweave the strands and use them during extreme conditions in the wilderness.

Braiding black leather, Roy Nilson crafts a bracelet for men that recalls the art and beliefs of the ancient Aztecs. A finely-crafted skull glares from within the jaws of a jaguar to centre the design. All young Mexica, or Aztec men, at the age of 14, were required to learn about weaponry and the art of war in special schools. Elite Aztec warriors wore headdresses denoting their honoured status in this case, as a jaguar and warrior, or knight.

The jaguar skull serves as the bracelet's button clasp.
