Handmade South American Fique Bracelet
This gorgeous bracelet was crafted in Colombia by local artists. It is made of fique, a natural thread from the fibers of a cactus grown in the region.For centuries Indigenous groups in Colombia like the Kankuamos have carefully hand spun the cactus fibers together and then dyed them to produce a brilliant colorful thread which is used in a variety of bags, cases and handicrafts. Today, the world is re-discovering the wonderful heritage of Fique and this sustainable resource is beginning to replace some of its synthetic counterparts. 2.75 inch diameter Unconditionally Guaranteed Orders shipped within 24 hours of payment
