TRADITIONAL BRACELET Giraffe Hair
SKU: JB.AH.G

The chic, highly fashionable, unisex, genuine giraffe hair bracelet is universally worn by men and women. The bracelet adjusts using ancient knot technology brought to Africa from Asia by Arab traders to fit most regular wrist sizes. Photographs are generic with the three styles shown in the 'generic picture'. Typical traditional 2-knot close to actual size shown in picture A.

According to African legend, these bracelets offer protection and great fortune to the wearer. The knots represent four powerful earth forces water, sun, fire and wind. The strands symbolize the seasons. Moving the knots along the strands is thought to create balance between earth and nature, and to bring harmony and well-being to those who wear it. Typical traditional knot detail shown in picture B. Size guide (based on the fully expanded bracelet) shown in picture C.

These difficult to obtain bracelets often sell upwards of $40 in USA speciality stores. We are able to offer them at moderate prices by contracting directly with the Zimbabwean artisans at fair trade prices.

Being hand made slight variations in knot sizes and finish from those shown in the photographs. Detailed information for typical 2-knot petite, regular (fits most wrist sizes), and large. NO ANIMAL WAS INTENTIONALLY HARMED TO OBTAIN THE HAIR; raw product obtained from hunting concessions and licensed auctions. Picture D shows hair thickness for these traditional bracelets with "B" being giraffe.
