$18.00 - Item#B609AKUABA

This pewter charm depicts an akuaba, which is a ritual fertility doll of the Ashanti people in Africa. Traditionally, these dolls are carried by women hoping to conceive a child, or hoping to ensure the health of child they are already carrying. They have also come to be associated with good luck, in general. This bracelet was made with the akuaba charm, glass, wood, stone and bone beads. One-of-a-kind (OOAK) original handmade bracelet, only one available. Bracelet measures 8 inches long, but fits a 7-1/4 to 7-1/2 inch wrist (see the FAQ page for more info about how bracelets fit). Akuaba charm is 1-inch long. The picture shows exactly what you will receive. Monitors vary, so the color may not look exactly the same in person. Gift boxed.

$26.00 - Item#B118EARTH

I love working with natural materials. The energy and the incredible color combinations are always inspiring to me. This piece is a one-of-a-kind, chunky, earthy bracelet featuring wood, stone, ceramic and bone beads, linked with a high-quality silver-plated European copper-core wire. Includes ocean jasper, bronzite stone, carved bone bead, and the ceramic bead is made by artist Elaine Ray. The largest bead measures 1 inch across, the smallest 5/8 inch across. The bracelet is slightly adjustable, and fits the “standard” women’s wrist of 7 to 7-1/2 inches, but I can adjust it larger or small if desired. Just put a note in the instructions box when ordering (smaller sizing would require the removal of the smallest, bronzite bead, larger sizing would be the addition of extension links and a slightly larger clasp).

Garnet is the birthstone for January, but you don’t have to be born in winter to enjoy this beautiful stone whose name comes from the Latin word for “seed” due to its resemblance to pomegranate seeds. Garnet is an ancient gemstone and has been worn by humans for thousands of years. In gem lore, the garnet is said to protect one on journeys, bring success in business and to attract friends. Deep red garnets are also associated with love.
