This 'Bubblegum Spin' wrap bracelet by Independent Artisans is a charming and whimsical accessory. Handcrafted by Sumalee Nawakul, petite globes of colorful littleleaf boxwood evoke the joyful and nostalgic image of bubblegum balls. The bracelet wraps multiple times around the wrist, creating a playful and dynamic pop of color. Each end is finished with a tiny bell, which adds a delightful and unique detail, giving the bracelet both movement and a subtle sound. This piece is a vibrant and cheerful addition to any wardrobe, handcrafted to bring a sense of fun and a touch of whimsy.
Sumalee, from Isan in northeastern Thailand, grew up surrounded by flowers, silkworms, and textiles woven by her grandmother and aunt. After leaving school early due to financial hardship, she supported herself through jobs in Thai dessert shops and later with a Christian nonprofit, where she spent 17 years helping the elderly find small sources of income. Exhausted but determined, she pursued several ventures before discovering her path in jewelry. Inspired by simple wooden beads, she began threading colorful necklaces by hand and selling them on the streets. Tourists admired their lightweight beauty and affordability, and her work slowly gained recognition. Today, her designs transform humble beads into vibrant jewelry, crafted with the help of older community members who find both purpose and income through the work. For Sumalee, jewelry is not only a livelihood but also a way to uplift others while celebrating Thai craftsmanship.
Handcrafted in Thailand, this 6.3-inch long wrap bracelet is made with littleleaf boxwood beads, stainless steel wire, and aluminum bells.
