Made with traditional techniques and materials passed down through generations of Navajo artisans, the Ghost Bead Bracelet is an authentic piece of wearable art with a deep cultural significance.
Juniper berries have a rich history with the Navajo community, being used medicinally once Europeans arrived in the southwest. After falling to the ground, these berries attract local critters who peel the outer fruit, revealing the beautiful shell inside. Due to their close connection with nature, these beads are highly valued and considered more precious than those made or bought. They are believed to offer protection and ward off evil in the wearer's daily life. Known as "Ghost Beads," these once juniper berries are now handcrafted into stunning jewelry that incorporates colorful glass beads. They serve as an authentic representation of Navajo culture and provide added protection for whoever wears them on their journey through life.
Measuring approximately 7.75 inches in length, this bracelet features a barrel clasp for secure wear.
