This
Ndebele bracelet is a symbolic representation of
joy in a woman's life. The selection
of colors for the 3 central tubular components represent
things which the woman celebrates in her life, about
her life, and around her life. These may be colors
associated with children, grandchildren or friends.
They may be favorite colors, or colors of favorite
flowers or other objects. They may be colors associated
with important emotions, rituals or times. They
may be colors associated with events or places experienced
when traveling.
While
the "design" of the bracelet is from the
woman's perspective, the "wearing" of
the bracelet is unisex. A man would be equally as
comfortable wearing this bracelet, as would a woman.
