Traditional Peruvian Seed Bracelet

For centuries, the people of Peru have collected huayruro seeds to ward off negative energy and attract good fortune. When many people think of Peruvian crafts, they think of colorful handwoven blankets and shawls, carved wood and gourd, and of course, beautiful, colorful jewelry. Traditional jewelry making craft has lasted through many generations, and Peruvian artisans still uphold their reputation as master artisans. Some artisans even use huayruro seeds in their handcrafted jewelry. My favorite are Peruvian seed bracelets. The artisans who create this Seed Bracelet for the Tikanchay collection use techniques handed down through the years, while adding their own creative touch. Each bracelet is one of a kind – no two are exactly alike. Just like the women who wear them, they are all beautifully different. Peruvian huayruro designs are still eye catching after thousands of years!
