Adjustable macrame bracelets // Symbolic

These symbolic bracelets have been hand woven with a waxed cord. Created by a small community of woman from a small village called La Union, Colombia. The Leki Lekto project aims to support traditional housewives by providing work/creative opportunities, supporting them in situations such as opening their first independent bank accounts and supporting wellness, such as meditation retreats.

Materials and Dimensions

• Waxed cord
• Resin clasp
• Adjustable to any size

As we use mainly natural materials it is important that we care for them best we can. We have tried things like adding resin to our melon seed jewellery – which does make them more resistant – but it takes away from the natural yumminess of them!

Tamo – Due to the natural colourants used in dying the wheat and natural fibres, these need to be displayed away from direct sunlight – which could cause the colours to fade over a prolonged period. For cleaning, a brush (I use a clean paint brush), or a damp cloth can be used to wipe over the items.

Melon seed jewellery – Avoid submerging these pieces of jewellery in water for prolonged periods (– unless you planning on growing some melons). Washing your hand is fine, but when submerged over long periods (i.e. swimming, bath, washing up) the seeds become soft (normal for seeds) and are then more susceptible to damage until dry again. Store in a cool, dry place with airflow away from direct sunlight. Prolonged periods in direct sunlight could lead to fading of the natural dyes. A clean paint brush is a great way to give these a bit of a clean if needed.

Flower jewellery – These are pretty sturdy pieces of jewellery, you can swim, surf and sleep in them.
