everyday bracelets

Wear them together for a glam appearance or choose one to wear each day of the week--Arshad Ullah's set of seven stretch bracelets look lovely either way. Using elastic cord, Thai artisans hand craft each bracelet with its own gemstone: red garnet, purple amethyst, ethereal moonstone, vibrant peridot, warm carnelian, deep sunstone, and bright reconstituted turquoise. Sterling silver-plated brass beads add a bit of bright shine to the set.

Handcrafted in Thailand by artisan Tiraphan Hasub, this vibrant beaded bracelet is a celebration of texture and tradition. Five strands of gemstones—deep blue lapis lazuli, earthy serpentine, striking agates, dyed blue calcite, and composite turquoise—dance alongside gleaming brass beads, all woven together on a sturdy brown cord. Adjustable loop closure with delicate brass bells that chime softly.

Handcrafted by Thai artisan Tiraphan Hasub, this exquisite beaded bracelet features five strands of gemstones and brass beads on brown polyester cord that culminate in a clasp of small brass bells. Brightly colored lapis lazuli, red jasper, dyed blue calcite, and composite turquoise create a striking contrast with the golden-colored brass, making this bracelet a magnificent accessory.

With inspiration from Mayan art and architecture, Cristobal Ramirez of Guatemala designs a marvelous wrap bracelet. A beautiful array of glass beads in colors of blue and turquoise are carefully strung by hand between two lengths of nylon cord that wrap the wrist, closing with a reconstituted turquoise button. Says the artisan, "Mayan architecture is a precious thing. Combining different forms and sizes, it is something precious to admire. It is incredible to think that our ancestors achieved magnificent works without imagining that today they would be the treasure of our country."
