go to wear

Asmara Putra crafts a beautiful beaded bracelet to slip over the wrist. His original design carries a message of unity in the central bead that depicts three interlinked triangles. "Each one represents something," he says. "One stands for God, one for all of humankind and one for nature. If the three can unite and work together, the world could be a better place." Lava stones complement globes of sterling silver.

Golden and black hues merge in the most sublime way, creating this pair of stretch bracelets from the glorious Ghanaian region. Tina Quaye uses recycled glass beads to craft this glamorous pair, whose elastic cords allow comfortable and tailored wear. As a discreet message, the pieces are named after the Akan word medowiase, meaning "love of my life."
