hippie bracelets

Evoking the bright beauty of summer, this bracelet from Thailand is beaded with dangling charms of jasper, carnelian, calcite, and smoky quartz alongside metallic glass beads. Nareerat designs this bracelet, which is crafted with a clasp and extender chain of sterling silver plated brass.

This wristband bracelet features beads from the Karen hill tribe in Thailand combined with apatite, the natural color of a brilliant afternoon sky, and the earthy tones of jasper. Handcrafted by Thai artisan Samart Takham with dark brown polyester waxed cord, a hexagonal silver bead stamped with a flower motif is centered between apatite and jasper, flanked on each side by three round silver beads. A sliding knot allows the bracelet to be adjusted to fit.

Moody and graceful, gemstones of serpentine, jasper, and rose quartz combine their beauty. Thai artisan Tiraphan Hasub creates this bracelet, circling the wrist with a torsade of gemstones alongside gleaming brass beads. This accessory closes with a ringing brass button clasp.

Knotted by hand on macrame cords, gemstones represent the seven chakras. The word means "wheel" and refers to the points of spiritual and physical energy in the human body. Violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red represent the crown, brow, throat, heart, solar plexus, sacral and root, and each is linked to a different mantra. By Rituu in India, this beautiful bracelet combines amethyst, lapis lazuli, pale blue amazonite and rose quartz with golden tiger's eye, carnelian and onyx. It is designed to foster balance and harmony in life. The bracelet can be adjusted in length by sliding the knot along the cords, and hematite adorns each end.

Stones of jasper, unakite, lapis lazuli, and calcite create a wonderful appearance along the length of these multi-gemstone bracelets from Thailand, punctuated by petite brass beads. Tiraphan Hasub styles herself a fashionista, transmitting her artistic intuition to the wearer in this pair of beaded bracelets. Each bracelet closes with a brass bell button clasp.
