Handmade Indian Wood Resin Bead Stretch Bracelet

The Night and Day bracelet is smooth and cool and feels delightful to wear! It is a wide, multistrand stretch bracelet, created by artisans in the Himalayas of India using Fair Trade practices.

The double colored beads are joined in several layers with vertical carved beads embellishing them for a traditional look. The long beads are handcrafted from pine tree resins, and shaped into tubular beads. They are then polished to a smooth, shiny surface. Small metallic beads accent this beautiful design. Keep in mind that the color tones in your unique bracelet may vary slightly from what is pictured.
