special gift for her

There are many ways to enjoy the wonders of the Guatemalan landscapes, but here is a unique and celestial one present in the Hands of Atitlan's newest creation. The artisans use crystals and nylon in sky blue and grey hues to create this adjustable wristband bracelet, whose colors evoke the beauty of the region's sky.

Inspired by her country's exports of roses and rosehips, Guatemalan artisan Mirian Zet crafts her own valuable export with this necklace, helping her to bring stability to her small village. Mirian presents a variety of cool-colored glass beads with rich blue crystals in this elegant handmade statement necklace.

Two is always better than one, that is why you can’t go wrong with this pair of colorful wrap bracelets where sparkling crystal and glass beads intertwine in perfect harmony. Crafted by Guatemala's Domingo Reanda, these fashionable accessories are woven with meticulous precision on a special bead loom. Polished Tibetan-style pewter buttons add a touch of sophistication and elegance.

Artisan Domingo explains, "The first bracelet is inspired by the colors of water and the harmony found in earthy tones, symbolizing balance in both nature and life itself. In addition to enhancing any ensemble, this bracelet convey a profound message of self-awareness, self-care, self-love, and gratitude. They serve as a constant reminder of the importance of balance in life, both internally and externally.

The second beautiful bracelet is crafted using blue, reminiscent of water, and earthy tones symbolizing paths. I created it with inspiration from the guidance we sometimes need to make life's decisions. Just as water flows and finds its way, and the earth lays the groundwork for our journey, may this bracelet serve as a reminder that guidance and direction are always within reach, helping us navigate life's twists and turns. Trust in your inner compass, and you'll find your way to brighter horizons."

Brilliant crystal beads in blue and clear and tiny Czech glass beads in gold are combined to create this pretty wrap bracelet. Designed and crafted by Mirian Zet in Guatemala, the wire bracelet wraps around easily to fit any wrist.
