mayan jewelry

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."

Wear this out on the street to show your support! This bracelet is handwoven with blue and white fine glass beads by the Wakami cooperative of the city of Guatemala, a Kaqchikel Maya word meaning "it already is."

Guatemala's tradition and culture are often present in its ancient textiles, testimonies of its historical richness. Inspired by these stunning creations once crafted by his ancestors, Álvaro Ratzan creates this glass beaded bracelet featuring a palette of red and black hues, full of geometric figures that evoke the majesty of the Maya. Furthermore, the accessory comes with a leather-accented structure for a comfortable fit.
