handmade gift

Geometric motifs and a vibrant palette of blue and orange hues create a stylish accessory crafted in Guatemala by Mirian Zet. With a myriad of glass beads forming the design, this wristband bracelet is the perfect complement to any outfit thanks to its comfortable toggle clasp.

On a mission to end poverty in her lakeside village and create opportunities for local women, Guatemalan artisan Mirian Zet dedicates her time to creating beaded jewelry with the purpose of expressing herself and generating employment for others around her. Mirian took inspiration from the wildlife and forest that blankets the Guatemalan highlands, growing up on the shores of breathtaking Lake Atitlan. Turning her love of nature into art, Mirian crafts these extravagant waterfall earrings, stringing orange glass beads that gracefully fall from sterling silver hooks, inspired by the striking macaws that soar over her home.

Revitalize your style with these vibrant positive energy wrap bracelets, expertly handcrafted in Guatemala. A burst of lively color emerges, skillfully woven by Domingo Reanda using shiny crystal and glass beads on a specialized loom. The bracelets' lively allure is sealed with the finishing touch of polished Tibetan-style pewter buttons, ensuring they become a spirited addition to your outfit.

Artisan Domingo explains, “To create these bracelets, I drew inspiration from the rainbow and its significance in various cultures. For instance, Chinese, American, Inca and Nordic cultures view the rainbow as a bridge connecting the earthly and the spiritual realms. Much like these ancient beliefs, these bracelets symbolize a connection between the tangible and the transcendent, carrying with them a sense of unity and harmony.”
