Two is always better than one, that is why you can’t go wrong with this pair of colorful wrap bracelets where sparkling crystal and glass beads intertwine in perfect harmony. Crafted by Guatemala's Domingo Reanda, these fashionable accessories are woven with meticulous precision on a special bead loom. Polished Tibetan-style pewter buttons add a touch of sophistication and elegance.

Artisan Domingo explains, "The first bracelet is inspired by the colors of water and the harmony found in earthy tones, symbolizing balance in both nature and life itself. In addition to enhancing any ensemble, this bracelet convey a profound message of self-awareness, self-care, self-love, and gratitude. They serve as a constant reminder of the importance of balance in life, both internally and externally.

The second beautiful bracelet is crafted using blue, reminiscent of water, and earthy tones symbolizing paths. I created it with inspiration from the guidance we sometimes need to make life's decisions. Just as water flows and finds its way, and the earth lays the groundwork for our journey, may this bracelet serve as a reminder that guidance and direction are always within reach, helping us navigate life's twists and turns. Trust in your inner compass, and you'll find your way to brighter horizons."

Wrap yourself in layers of color with this glass beaded bracelet hand crafted by the Weaving Hands of Atitlán from Guatemala. The artisans weave glass beads in the cool blue-greens and warm browns of surf and sand and of a mixture of shapes and sizes to create visually stunning patterns. The bracelet closes with a pewter button clasp.

The Weaving Hands of Atitlán are a group of women from Santa Cruz La Laguna in Sololá, near Lake Atitlán, who grew up weaving. About their work, the artisans say: “We want people to be curious about our town and our craft. We are inspired by nature, the lake, the beaches — basically all of Guatemala, because it is so beautiful! We dream about bringing our creations to the world so that people may enjoy them and have something they find special.”

This dazzling collection showcases the weaving traditions of Chiapas, where Maya women work on the backstrap loom just as their ancestors did in pre-Hispanic times. A red cotton tote features rainbow stripes and embroidered flowers on the front. The purse opens to a roomy, unlined interior for your belongings. The handwoven floral cosmetic bag is also embroidered. Inside is a small zipper pocket.

A petite copal wood owl alebrije adorns the key chain. They originated in 1936 in Mexico City when Pedro Linares became ill and fell into a coma. He dreamed he was caught between the land of the living and the dead in a forest-like place, populated with fantastical hybrid creatures. They repeatedly cried alebrije! After recovering, the artisan recreated these figures in bright papier mache and called them alebrijes.

Two petite beaded bracelets complete the set.
