The Guatemalan artisan reunites waxed cords in this macrame bracelet, whose green and red details imitate the beauty of the fresh mistletoe. Shiny crystals complete the piece, allowing you to radiate romantic grace everywhere.

Christmas, the merriest time of the year, inspires Guatemalan artisan Mirian Zet to handcraft a charm bracelet using glass beads in a traditional palette of red, green and yellow hues. After forming the strands, Mirian adds dangling crystals and a sweet star, making a lovely complement for these holidays.

What would Christmas be without a snowman? This icon of the holiday season is the star of this beautiful pendant bracelet designed and crafted by hand by artisan Mirian Zet in Guatemala. She threads onto nylon cords glass beads for the strands and pendant and tops them with crystal beads for the charms and the button clasp.

Complete with a jute cord for easy hanging, this creation by Guatemala’s Liz Oliva brings a handmade touch to every season.

Tropical fish become festive ornaments from Bali. Each albesia wood ornament is painted by hand by Ketut Nadiasih, from Bhakti Senang Hati. The set includes four lively fish hanging from golden cords.

"I'm Ketut Nadiasih, from Tampaksirin. I'm the fourth of seven siblings and our parents are farmers with no educational background. I had Poliomyelitis when I was a little girl so I rarely went outside my parents’ house unless somebody could carry me anywhere I wanted to go. I felt so at peace and happy when my nephew carried me to see the world outside for the first time - a world that is full of colors. I enjoy crafting something with both my hands that can be used by people. When I married my husband, whom I met at the foundation, I knew the meaning of happiness. We work together to create ornaments, my husband carves the pieces and I finish and paint them."
