scroll bracelet

Adding a touch of beauty and joy to any ensemble, this bracelet combines hues of yellow, silver, and white. Guatemalan artisan Lesbia Back creates this bracelet, which wraps the wrist with beads of faceted crystal that glimmer in the light.

From Andean artisan Dina comes a pair of charming beaded stretch bracelets in warm tones with an Inca-inspired style. Serpentine serves as the highlight of one of the bracelets while agate is the focal point of the other; both include handcrafted ceramic beads in subtle earth tones.

Abdul Kadir Iddrisu of Ghana crafts this stretch bracelet with chips of polished quartz. This stone naturally comes in a range of colors from greens, to reds, to greys, making it a versatile accessory to complement many an outfit.

With beautiful consistency of pattern and calming shades of brown and beige, Catherine Offei Kwapong strings together this subtly stunning beaded bracelet. A Ghanaian artisan, Kwapong uses a base of nylon twine and then decorates it with beads of sese wood and terracotta. Kwapong names this piece Obaa, meaning "Woman" in the Akan language.

Akwele Suma takes her inspiration for this bracelet from the emergence of the sun at dawn and its rays across the sky. "Each day is a new beginning, we can always start fresh," shares the Ghanaian artist. She crafts the bracelet by hand, cutting paper from different printed sources and rolling them into spindles that alternate with sese wood beads.

The artist uses the paper at hand so paper colors will vary, making each design a unique example of handcrafted art. These beads receive a protective coat of clear nail polish.
