Huni Kuin Statement Bracelet L2 - Large Kaxinawá Bracelet with Extended Symbolism

This wide beaded bracelet comes from the Brazilian Amazon, where women of the Huni Kuin tribe string them by hand. This piece has a striking central motif: a blue eye at the heart of the bracelet, surrounded by concentric layers of green, black, red, orange, and yellow. The colors radiate outward like tree rings - or ripples in a pond.

The name Huni Kuin means "true people" or "people with traditions." The eye motif holds deep meaning within their culture: it watches over the wearer and keeps negative influences at bay. Within the tradition, you wear this bracelet continuously. You slip it over your wrist with water and soap, and it stays until it releases on its own. The women spend three to five days on a single piece.

Key features: Handmade from glass missanga beads. Central eye motif with rainbow colors. Closed bracelet worn according to traditional practice. Protective symbolism. Meant to wear continuously until it naturally releases. Each piece is one of a kind.

The traditional way of wearing

★ The watchful eye

The central eye motif isn't decoration - it's a symbol. It watches over you while you wear the bracelet - protection that travels with you.

★ Wear until it releases

You wear this bracelet continuously until it comes off by itself. That moment marks the end of a cycle - the protection has served its purpose.

Putting it on

Wet your hand with water and soap. Then gently rotate the bracelet over your hand to your wrist. Once around your wrist, it stays secure. It goes with you in the shower, at work, during exercise. The glass beads can handle water and daily wear.
