guatemalan beaded jewelry

Wrap yourself in layers of color with this glass beaded bracelet hand crafted by the Weaving Hands of Atitlán from Guatemala. The artisans weave glass beads in the cool blue-greens and warm browns of surf and sand and of a mixture of shapes and sizes to create visually stunning patterns. The bracelet closes with a pewter button clasp.

The Weaving Hands of Atitlán are a group of women from Santa Cruz La Laguna in Sololá, near Lake Atitlán, who grew up weaving. About their work, the artisans say: “We want people to be curious about our town and our craft. We are inspired by nature, the lake, the beaches — basically all of Guatemala, because it is so beautiful! We dream about bringing our creations to the world so that people may enjoy them and have something they find special.”

Nimble fingers are needed to weave tiny glass beads into intricate designs, such as with these half-moon style blue and black dangle earrings. They are the creation of the very patient and skillful Guatemalan artisan, Marice Nuñez.

Directly from the breathtaking landscapes of the always-beautiful Costa Rica, Ruth Guevara's newest pendant necklace portrays the wondrous fauna that wanders the rainforest. Working on a calabash gourd piece, the artisan paints a stunning morpho butterfly and flower, representing the region's hopes. As a natural accent, pinewood beads adorn the accessory, whose ivory cord can be adjusted through a sliding knot.

Imagine a bracelet that doesn't just accessorize but completely transforms your style narrative. The artisans at Guatemala's Weaving Hands create a wearable masterpiece where every glass bead tells a story of craftsmanship. The nylon cord serves as a dynamic stage, allowing colors to interact and play, while the ingenious sliding knot closure ensures this accessory moves as freely and confidently as you do.

Forget blending in—this wrap bracelet is your ticket to standing out brilliantly. The artisans of Guatemala's Weaving Hands weave magic into every inch, transforming glass beads and nylon cords into a visual symphony. Each bead is strategically placed to create a mesmerizing pattern that shifts and sparkles with every gesture while the Tibetan-style pewter button adds an unexpected metallic whisper of sophistication.
