All woven and glass beaded wristlets are entirely handcrafted by indigenous tribes living in Colombia’s tropical rainforests. Each piece represents over forty hours of handwork. As a celebration to this native artistry, El Dorado Emerald is an armlet inspired by the iconic Colombian Emerald and by the history and art of indigenous cultures. In addition to their aesthetic value, emeralds were highly valued in ancient times because they were believed to increase intelligence, protect marriages, ease childbirth, and thought to enable its possessor the power of predicting future events. The embellishment is a 24k gold plated frog symbolizing power, fertility and richness. By combining traditional bead weaving with 24k Pre-Columbian gold plated ornaments, these Latin luxe bracelets are captivatingly festive and unique.
