Stalwart

For artisan Dina from Peru, handcrafting jewelry with an Incan flair is a family affair. Her husband learned ceramic techniques from her, and the whole family works in one artisan form or another. 'My work is a family endeavor and our designs are ancestral ones,' she says. She designs this set of three beaded bracelets which are hand-strung. Jasper, obsidian, tiny sterling silver beads, smooth green and red beads, and handcrafted ceramic beads give the stretch bracelets a variety of colors and textures.
