Discover a selection of bracelets handmade by partner artisans in Brazil. Miçanga, natural seeds, Capim Dourado and other materials give rise to pieces with a wide range of colors, textures and craftsmanship.

Handcrafted bracelets from Brazil - Amazonikaa

Bracelets handcrafted in Brazil

A bracelet can reveal far more than a material or a color. Behind every piece are gestures, craftsmanship and the person who made it.

This collection brings together bracelets handmade by partner artisans in different regions of Brazil. Some pieces come from Indigenous peoples or traditional communities, while others are made by artisans developing their own creative universe.

Materials, colors and craftsmanship

Miçanga, natural seeds, plant fibers and Capim Dourado: materials and techniques vary according to the artisan and the piece.

Some creations play with color and pattern, while others reveal the natural shapes and textures of plant-based materials. This diversity is part of the richness of Brazilian craftsmanship.

Amazonikaa selects these bracelets from its partner artisans for their singularity and the quality of the artisanal work.

Creations that tell stories of Brazil

Through these bracelets, Amazonikaa seeks to introduce Brazil beyond its most familiar images: through its artisans, materials and diverse forms of craftsmanship.

Because behind a handcrafted piece of jewelry, there are first and foremost hands and a story.

Choosing the size of your miçanga bracelets

Most glass bead bracelets are closed.

The size described on the product pages refers to the diameter of the bracelet, in mm.

To approximate your bangle bracelet size, you must measure the width of your palm to ensure it can pass through the bracelet's diameter at its widest point, as shown in the image below, and then add 0.5 cm to this measurement.

Refer to the conversion table below to determine the minimum diameter for your bracelet. You can select one or two sizes up depending on your preference.

Example: your palm measures 7.3 cm. You add 0.5 cm, which gives 7.8 cm. In the table, the minimum diameter of your bracelet should be 58 mm.
