Honduran Beaded Earth Bracelet
Down-to-earth yet bold and beautiful, this handmade bracelet from Honduras is a gorgeous finishing touch to your ensemble! Made by artisans using traditional, low-temperature, burnished pottery techniques to create these ethnic designs, resulting in stunning, subtle colors.
Located in the heart of Central America, Honduras has a very rich artisan tradition. Most of the indigenous and rural artisans are women, keepers of the pre-Colombian and colonial techniques, shapes, and secrets. In the hands of Lenca, Miskito, Tawahka, Garifuna, Pech, Tolupan, Maya, Chorti and Mestizo women, these traditions are experiencing a renaissance, thanks to the support and design work of ACTA DE HONDURAS. Their artisans use beautiful pottery and recycled aluminum that they fashion into jewelry.
