Arrives in a black Etkie box with a card carrying the name of the artist who made your cuff, and an insert about the artists
Our luxury beaded cuffs are handloomed by Navajo artisans in New Mexico. They work on their own time, in their own spaces, and take orders based on much or little they want to work throughout the year. With every Etkie purchase, you are supporting meaningful income opportunities for artisans, their families, and their communities.
Every cuff is 6" long with a semi-flexible copper band inside the leather, so one size fits most wrists. Place it on your arm above the wrist bone, rotate it into position, squeeze it gently around your wrist, then press the edges down to set it. To take it off, lift the edges gently and rotate it off with your thumb pointing up. Don't overextend it, as that can damage the beads.
We photograph each design as accurately as we can, and small differences in bead placement and color are part of how it’s made.
Silver is the hardest to photograph. It reads flatter on screen than it does on the wrist, and it looks better in person.

“The colors in the Belle small bracelet are so vibrant and beautiful. I love the design, and it’s as comfortable as all my other Etkie creations. I appreciate the artistry and time put into each piece.”
"The quality is wonderful. I have purchased other bracelets from you before. All great quality. The only suggestion I have is that the shipping took longer than I anticipated since I live in Albuquerque."

Beautiful Gift!
"The presentation was fantastic - but the craftsmanship is amazing. The leather inside the cuff is butter soft and the beadwork/coloring is beautiful - bought multiple bracelets as gifts for my sisters (and one for myself) - couldn't be happier! Have been admiring them for years and finally made the purchase to give us something to commemorate coming through a tough year together."
