Moku Bracelet ~ Size 5.5
Moku Bracelet ~ Size 5.5
This listing is for size 5.5 inch bracelets.
To find your bracelet size: start by measuring the smallest part of your wrist and adding 0.25 inches. This will give you a snug fit with not a lot of movement. If you prefer a looser fit, add more length. I think you will find that you can comfortably wear a range of sizes!
Please also note, the sizing of the Moku bracelet is determined by the internal circumference of each piece when it is clasped. It is NOT an end to end measurement.
These finished bracelets consists of 15-18 colorful, surf tumbled shell and sea glass fragments. These ocean treasures are strung onto the hand knotted macrame cord which is made from bonded nylon thread. One cowrie lip and toggle loop create the secure and easy to use closure.
In the Hawaiian language, 'Moku' has several different meanings including 'broken,' 'pieces' and 'island.' This definition suggests that 'broken' things can still hold value, beauty and importance.
When I find interesting fragments of broken shell, I always wonder where the other pieces are and how long they've been separated. When I collect and admire these small treasures, I can't help but think about PEOPLE...how we all begin as a part of something else. We move, we marry, we separate, we become our own 'island,' from which other pieces may eventually break away. Our edges, our insides, our unique shape tell our story. Beautiful is not always whole or perfect...beautiful can also be "broken."
