Ancestral Knot Bracelet in Onyx & Gold - Chain of Focus & Prosperity – Enkito e Olkereti (Step of Adornment).
More than an accessory—this is a rhythmic circlet of texture, bold contrast, and enduring artisanal structure.
Introducing the Enkito e Olkereti Chain of Focus & Prosperity:
A set of elegantly handcrafted bracelets that embody strength through subtle pattern. Each bracelet is constructed using fine beadwork, creating a tubular form that wraps comfortably around the wrist. The core design features dense onyx-black seed beads, symbolizing depth and resilience, interspersed with repeating bands of bright, shimmering gold-toned seed beads. This deliberate patterning creates a visual 'knot' or 'chain' effect, where the light of the gold breaks the matte depth of the black. Offered as a coordinating set (one narrow, one wide), these pieces transform simple beads into a powerful, wearable rhythm and contrast into sophistication.
Artisan Connection:
Inspired by the deep, cyclical patterns often found in the tubular beadwork of the Maasai and other East African communities, this set represents the strength of connection and the focus of a journey. The gold-toned beads are purposefully placed to evoke the shimmer of metal or light, linking the wearer to the concept of prosperity and value. Crafted with immense precision using off-loom techniques, the tight, durable weave demonstrates the high skill and commitment to quality inherent in artisanal cooperatives.
