We used matte brown size 6/0 seed beads and then added matte brown raspberry Magatama glass beads to create a unique and eye catching bracelet design that is unique and easy to wear and clean. This bracelet pairs well with any of our Brown Dragon Scale Necklace Lei and is secure with a gold toned matte acrylic magnet end cap that has a strong hold. In your order let us know the size wrist or bracelet so we can customize for you.
Our bracelets and necklaces feel wonderful to wear and require little to almost no care by using a clean dry towel every few months to keep dust free and bright. This beautiful hand-crafted style necklace was made using hundreds of glass beads from around the world that are meticulously loaded onto multiple cords that are then woven together on a Japanese Marudai braiding stand (see photo).
Bracelets will be available soon in a variety of sizes or can be made custom for you by emailing us, or select the color bead for a bracelet

Kumihimo is an ancient Japanese braid making technique that creates beautiful and durable interlaced necklaces and bracelets. This art form goes back hundreds of years as braids were made for use in armor of Samurai warriors. In modern times these braids are used for belts (obijime) on kimonos
