Wholesale Bracelet | Bonda

Old beads - New look This bracelet is handmade by skilled craftswomen in Nepal. It is made with re-used glass beads from necklaces originally worn by women of the Bonda tribes from Odisha, India. They typically wear dozens of glass bead strings as their main form of clothing. The old glass beads were worn for decades by Bonda women. The Bonda are tribal people who currently live in the hills of Odisha in India. Bonda women only wear a loincloth. Their torsos and heads are covered in strings of colourful beads. In Nepal the old glass beads from these strands are re-used to make the bracelets. The beads are strung on new cotton threads. The knotted sliding closure in the bracelet makes it suitable for almost every wrist. The size is adjustable from 16 - 22 cm. The bracelets are packed on a display card of handmade paper.
