different bracelets

Victoria Zurdo in Guatemala creates this lovely bracelet set from polyester cords using macrame techniques. Each of the five color-coordinated bracelets are different in style--one incorporates leather cord in light tan, another features a variegated unakite bead, and a third features a polished sterling silver bead. Mix and match to suit your style, or share the bracelets with a friend.

Crafted from mango wood, this set of four bangle bracelets is hand-painted in an intense olive tone. Presented by India's Vipin, these cute accessories are unique creations featuring different shapes with a polished finish.

"I chose to make this bracelet with two glass bead ties that symbolize union. The small beads of different colors, sizes and textures represent the community — all different but sharing the dream of having a better future," artisan Cristobal Ramirez says. |He combines seed beads in brown, green and blue, all beautiful earth colors in his original unity bracelet.
