Pattern: ola de mar (sea wave) in turquoise and orange color. Hand-braided or woven in Guatemala. A Brazilian bracelet woven from colorful cotton threads, skillfully intertwined.This type of bracelet has its roots in a spiritual tradition and is often attributed several properties. It is mainly considered a true lucky charm, even capable of granting wishes. Who has never heard the story that a person who receives a Brazilian bracelet must make a wish by tying it around their wrist? When the bracelet breaks naturally due to wear and tear on the threads, the wish would come true. However, this belief only holds if the bracelet was handcrafted!This is why it's often nicknamed a "friendship bracelet": it's woven for a loved one, in the hope of seeing one of their most precious wishes granted.
