Please Note! Bollywood Bracelets were first created back in 2012! Many of the colors and exact styles of the components are no longer available. The linked ingredient list above will bring you to the broad general categories for the ingredients you need, and the shoppable "windows" will include the products you'll want to recreate these stacks in the closest colorway possible.

Imagine fishing ports, river deltas and the longest beach in the world...all surrounding the incomparable Bay of Bengal, the largest bay in the world. Located off the coasts of India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar (Burma) and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Bay of Bengal is a priceless ecosystem of marine life.

We found inspiration for these bracelets in the tropical vegetation, blue waters and sun-drenched architecture of the regions surrounding the bay. The beauty and complexity of this design is in its simplicity. Each bracelet is one stitch, one bead and two colors of Chinese Knotting Cord. By stacking them together, your eye will find a pleasing path to Nirvana. The ingredients will make up to 15 bracelets...so you will have plenty for yourself and to give away. Give in an organza bag and your gifting is complete.
