Overview
A trio of finely knotted macramé/woven textile wristbands featuring traditional South American geometric and diamond patterns. Crafted with tight tension and intricate color changes, these reflect indigenous Colombian decorative weaving techniques often made for personal adornment and artisan markets.
Story
Woven by hand in Colombia, these diamond motifs trace back centuries to indigenous cosmologies representing sacred geometry, local fauna, and spiritual protection.
Maker / Origin
While made by anonymous indigenous weavers or local artisan cooperatives, these bracelets draw directly from traditions like the Wayuu of La Guajira or highland communities who pass intricate knotting and backstrap/hand-weaving techniques through generations.
Condition & Value
Good, clean condition with tight weave structure and minimal fraying visible. Clean textile condition preserves typical fair-trade retail value. Individual Colombian hand-woven bracelets typically sell for $5–$15 each at craft markets or fair-trade boutiques, placing a set of three in the $15–$40 range.
