Inspired by the landscape of the southwest dessert, the Kantha Southwest Collection includes our best-selling kantha styles in shades of turquoise, burnt orange, and cream. The Kantha Southwest Sonnet Bracelet features groups of colorized Kantha beads separated by smaller metallic beads. It is thoughtfully crafted from reclaimed Kantha & Sari textiles that have been hand-sorted, so each piece is slightly different. • Measures 6" internal circumference. Beads measure 3/8" wide. Bracelet stretches to fit most. • Sustainably handmade by women artisans in India.

Kantha quilts are a traditional textile found in abundance in India. They are made from layers of worn cotton saris, sewn together with a distinctive, allover running stitch. Artisans transform the fabric scraps into beads for jewelry, which provides new life to a textile that is often discarded.

Step 1:Each Kantha bead has a base made of wood, carved out of scraps gathered from a local furniture factory. Sustainable sourcing at it's best!

Step 2:Artisans then hand cover each wooden bead with a colorful piece of Kantha fabric, attaching them securely with a safe adhesive. Excess fabric is trimmed off, and the bead is complete.

Step 3:Once a number of beads have been crafted, they are strung together into a necklace, wrapped with wire and added into a cuff bracelet, or transformed into an earring, often incorporating modern elements like metallic paillettes, brass metal accent beads, or mixed-metal seed beads. Artisans assort the beads so the final piece of jewelry has a unique array of colors and patterns. The result is a Kantha design as unique as the artisan that crafted it!
