Add a touch of red to your jewelry collection with these handmade cuff bracelets from South Africa. Alternating on the safety-pin base with red seed beads are "South African beads" — fashioned from recycled Coca-Cola cans — all strung on elastic. These cuffs are cheery, eco-chic and 100 percent unique.
A group of South African artisans called Inkwenkwezi make these bracelets in their small and isolated village. Their name refers to a star that appears over Africa prior to the plowing season. It is a hopeful word, evoking hope for a rich harvest. Today the rising demand for these bracelets supports a community of five families.
