practical jewelry

A celebration of color and charm, this wide beaded bracelet is bursting with personality. The artisans of the Santiago Atitlan Women’s Group in Guatemala create a delightful design whose intricate heart motif is brought to life through a dazzling mix of orange and brown glass beads. The playful yet practical toggle clasp makes it as easy to wear as it is to love.

Ghanaian artisan Mary Dzidzienyo shows her commitment to environmentally-friendly practices with this colorful stretch bracelet she hand-crafts from recycled glass beads. The artisan threads the beads onto a nylon cord for a bracelet she calls Yram, which means "bless me" in the Ghanaian Ewe language.

Those looking to incorporate environmentally responsible practices even into their fashion choices will be amazed to learn this fabulous stretch bracelet is made entirely from recycled glass and plastic beads. Ghanaian artisan Salome Korkor Kpokli hand-crafts the black and white bracelet that can be worn by both men and women to add style to their looks.
