artisan bracelet

Gray dust compacts into black diamond forms with this cotton macrame wristband from Chiapas. It is presented by the Aid to Artisans organization, which works to help the indigenous people of this state maintain their traditional lifestyles.

Talented artisans of Chiapas not only work bright colors into beautiful textiles, they know how to work with subtle colors as well. One example is this pale oyster grey macramé bracelet with a diamond pattern melon orange from the Aid to Artisans organization. It works to help the indigenous people of this state maintain their traditional lifestyles.

Treasures that lie deep in the earth inspire this bohemian-style bracelet, designed and crafted by Guatemalan artisan Mirian Zet. Meticulously stringing tiny glass seed beads, she creates a zigzag pattern in black, grey and white. Faceted black crystals add glamour to the beaded wristband design.

A colorful wrap bracelet dazzles with its shimmering glass and crystal beads meticulously hand-woven on an elegant grey cord. The bracelet crafted by Guatemala's Domingo Reanda is adorned with a refined touch—a polished Tibetan-style pewter button as its closure, further enhancing its exquisite style and allure.

Artisan Domingo explains, "The color combination I used for this bracelet is soft and expresses tenderness. Tenderness is a feeling of protection and love, whether directed towards ourselves or others. This bracelet, apart from being a beautiful accessory, invites us to gently open our hearts and show love to ourselves and to others. It serves as a reminder of the beauty of kindness and affection in our lives, reminding us that small acts of tenderness can make a big difference in the world."
