different bracelets

Wakami is an artisan collective whose work benefits over 500 Guatemalan women and their families. This bohemian-cool unisex bracelet set is crafted with macrame techniques, and each of the 4 bracelets is different. In tones of beige, natural, and brown, the bracelets incorporate braided waxed cord along with metal accents, leather, and beads of white howlite. Three of the bracelets have clasps (one with a hook and two with button clasps), and the fourth bracelet features a sliding knot for an adjustable length.

Three different designs inspired by the Christmas season make up this set of wristband bracelets crafted from glass beads threaded onto waxed polyester cords. The bracelets are braided with the macrame technique by artisan Carmina Giron in Guatemala, are adjustable thanks to their sliding knot closure and can be worn separately or stacked together.

The rugged textures of natural lava stone are juxtaposed with sleek bone beads inscribed with chakra motifs. With this unity bracelet, Ayu Ary responds to the world's differences with a beautiful piece of jewelry. Strung on a cotton cord, the bracelet's sliding knot clasp makes the length adjustable.

This eye-catching wristband bracelet from Siriporn in Thailand features 4 black leather strands, each knotted with different beads. One strand features a double row of green quartz beads; the next is strung with tiny glass beads in green, blue and clear. The third strand is studded with cubes of dalmatian jasper, while the fourth strand is populated with gray quartz beads. The bracelet can be fastened at one of two lengths with a 950 silver toggle.

Giving a contemporary twist to traditional African designs, artisan Catherine Offei Kwapong creates a lovely stretch bracelet with sese wood and recycled plastic beads. Using nylon cord, she strings the different beads by hand in an eye-catching alternating pattern.

A colorful wrap bracelet dazzles with its shimmering glass and crystal beads meticulously hand-woven on an elegant grey cord. The bracelet crafted by Guatemala's Domingo Reanda is adorned with a refined touch—a polished Tibetan-style pewter button as its closure, further enhancing its exquisite style and allure.

Artisan Domingo explains, "The color combination I used for this bracelet is soft and expresses tenderness. Tenderness is a feeling of protection and love, whether directed towards ourselves or others. This bracelet, apart from being a beautiful accessory, invites us to gently open our hearts and show love to ourselves and to others. It serves as a reminder of the beauty of kindness and affection in our lives, reminding us that small acts of tenderness can make a big difference in the world."
