This Orange Beaded Wood Wrap Bracelet with Bells 1 In 'Tangerine Spin' is an eye-catching and vibrant accessory. Designed by Sumalee Nawakul, this wrap bracelet features tangerine orange spheres of littleleaf boxwood that wrap around the wrist with a tiny bell on each end. The piece, which transforms humble beads into vibrant jewelry, is a beautiful representation of the artisan's commitment to uplifting her community.
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 with littleleaf boxwood, stainless steel wire, and aluminum bells. The bracelet is 7 inches long and 1.2 inches wide. Color and size variations are to be expected.
