These chic, highly fashionable, unisex, pure copper wire "elephant hair style" bracelets fit all wrist sizes using ancient knot technology brought to Africa from Asia by Arab traders. The bracelet designs were inspired by the traditions and legends associated with elephant hair bracelets (originally worn to ward off evil spirits) and the reputed metaphysical and healing properties of copper.
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. Bracelet design is based on the popular "elephant hair" style.
Usually selling for more than $20 in the USA, we are able to offer them at moderate prices by contracting directly with the artisans in Zimbabwe at fair trade prices. Available in three styles Petite, Macho, and Macho Deluxe.
