This fabulous statement bracelet features colorful beads made from sari fabric. The artisans cover handmade wooden beads with recycled remnants of discarded vintage cotton saris and quilts.  They then wrap the beads with colorful cotton thread and cover them with textured strips. The beads are made from discarded wood from a local furniture company, making these a truly repurposed item. They are strung on elastic that stretches to fit most wrists. This ethically handmade statement bracelet is festive and fun to wear.

Largest beads measure approximately 3/4" in diameter. 

Stretches to fit most wrists.

Please note: colors may vary slightly as each bead is individually handmade.

ABOUT THE ARTISANS

Our kantha jewelry collection is handmade in a fair trade women's cooperative in India. The artisans are paid excellent wages and have seen their standard of living greatly increase through fair trade practices.  In addition, Worldfinds, the company working with the women, has established the Girls Education Fund, which provides scholarships for marginalized girls to continue school.  In India it is estimated that 64% of adolescent girls are forced to leave school early to take care of younger siblings, help run the household or for arranged marriages.
