Details

Artisan Alvaro Ratzan learned from his parents to create beautiful designs using simple materials, enabling him and his siblings to earn a living and better the lives of those in their community. The Ratzan family pioneered the glass beaded handicraft trade in the area surrounding Lake Atitlan in the Guatemalan highlands. Here, Alvaro creates a colorful hummingbird in honor of the diverse fauna that thrives in the Guatemalan wilderness, arranging glass beads in a waterfall of luminescence.

Just as pictured”

It was very hard choosing just one of these, the colors are all so beautiful. I would love to have them for necklaces too - that wrap just like the bracelets. I have a feeling Ill be ordering more in the near future....

Gorgeous Bracelet!”

This bracelet is even more beautiful in person. The colors and beading are exquisite! The leather lining makes the bracelet very comfortable to wear, and the size was a perfect fit. Very well made and very pleased.
