Earthy and bold, this Polynesian-inspired bracelet is a wonderful and fresh combination of natural elements and modern shiny brass. Deep, vivid tones of brown and green are accented by the brilliant brass and stark white of the bone making a perfectly balanced bracelet in regard to form, color and contrasting texture. The beautiful outdoorsy feeling of this bracelet overall is made authentic with the addition of the unique hand carved horn fish hook. This awesome bracelet was designed to accompany the fascinating Tree of Life Necklace made with a coconut palm leaf pendant for which the two pieces have been named.

The beautiful and vivid avocado green beads are commonly called "green turquoise" but are probably in fact a serpentine or dyed white stone from Mongolia. These beads have a wonderful range of hues from lime yellow to olive green and lovely brown and black matrixing.

Adding great texture and depth, the unique deep brown beads at the ends of the bracelet are carved bone beads from Indonesia. The large brass focal bead has a distinctive design adding character and additional intrigue to this fun bracelet. This unique bead is actually a recent product that has been developed in answer to the extraordinary prices of pure metals. It is made of recycled metal scraps and then brass-plated.

An original handmade grooved fish hook from the Philippines is carved from water buffalo, or carabao, horn and burnt a woody hue, giving this fabulous bracelet some exotic flavor. This bracelet closes with an antiqued gold-plated pewter toggle clasp and can be adjusted to fit the requested wrist size.
