Kantha Spiral Shapes Bracelet

Three-layer wrap bracelet, with round and square beads.

Oval, round and square beads spiral into a three-layer wrap bracelet, finished with rainbow tassels at each end for a decorative flourish. The beads are handmade from repurposed Kantha textiles, so colours and patterns will vary. Spiral measures 1.5" tall. Sustainably handmade by women artisans in India.

Kantha quilts are a traditional textile found in abundance in India. Artisans transform the fabric scraps into beads for jewellery, which provides new life to a textile that is often discarded.

Each Kantha bead has a base made of wood, carved out of scraps gathered from a local furniture factory.

We love sustainable sourcing!

WorldFinds is a design-driven brand of jewellery and accessories based in Westmont, Illinois, that empowers women through fair trade.

Their sustainable styles transcend all seasons, and collections range from minimalist to statement pieces. A large part of their collection includes designs handmade from repurposed textiles. Their colourful jewellery uses upcycled Kantha and Sari textiles, so they are one-of-a-kind and incredibly kind to the Earth.

These handmade designs create dignified work for their artisan partners in India, and support education projects to provide impact in their communities.

Each design is original to WorldFinds. The majority of WorldFinds products are handmade from repurposed, reclaimed and locally available materials. The use of repurposed materials and methods of waste reduction help keep WorldFinds environmental impact low. By handcrafting our products, they use less energy and water, and produce less pollution.

WolrdFinds fair trade practices help address one of the root causes of poverty: a lack of work. That’s why they focus on long-term, ongoing partnerships that provide sustainable work and fair wages that make an impact.

Fair trade takes commitment over time, and growth happens organically. WorldFinds witnessed the positive effects of their commitment. They’ve seen the communities they work with welcome in new and improved medical clinics, schools and community centres, and build new facilities to accommodate more working artisans. The result is stronger, healthier communities where change is powered from within.
